Just got in a brand new FPR 1.0 mm stub nib, cleaned it, popped in into my TWSBI 580 and.....
wow. Just a wet blobby mess of ink coming out of the end of my pen. It performs just like a super wet Broad nib, no line variation at all.
The nib advertises as 1mm downstroke and 0.3mm horizontal, but all the lines come out equally thick. Their Broad nibs have a 0.7mm stroke, so this nib lays down a ridiculously heavy line which with my handwriting just looks terrible.
It's also a very balky starter, but I'm not going to try to fix that until I decide if I'm keeping it.
