I have two Kawecos, one aluminum and one plastic. The only thing I would caution is that the converter holds a very small amount of ink, due to the compact nature of the pen design when capped. I turned the plastic one into an eyedropper with some silicon grease and it is a dream: holds tons of ink. This steel one will do fine as an eyedropper as well which is a big feature IMO. Plus you don't have to spend for the converter.
(I'm stuck with the small capacity converter on the aluminum one; can't eyedropper it.)

WalleyeWhy can you convert the steel to an eyedropper but not the aluminum?

bodysprayAluminum will not resist corrosion from the ink, but the stainless body will.

WalleyeI wonder, if you convert it to an eyedropper it may have issues with ink burping (as the ink will get warm)

Delta1Metal pens are generally not advisable for eyedropper conversion as ink frequently reacts with metal and as you mentioned burping issues.
