How does the stainless steel version compare to the regular version? Will the stainless steel version be too heavy and be unbalanced when posed?

MenuhinFound this comparison: https://edjelley.com/2015/05/08/video-lamy-2000-makrolon-vs-stainless-steel-comparison/
Can any owner of the SS version comment on the clip? In the video it has some play, but it does not look like it is a tolerance issue. Then again the Markrolon version doesn't have it.

MrSharkbaitSo I finally had a chance to handle this pen at the pen show. I actually forgot about this review's mention about the play in the clip, and when I examined the cap it did not bother me. What was strange though was my negative gut feel about the weight when I held it at writing position. It is because of the fact that I had been so used to writing with the Makrolon version, how light it was, and then the stainless felt like I was in a cartoon spaceship and someone flipped the GRAVITY ON switch.
The booth I was at wasn't really set up for test writing, and it was too crowded, so I didn't write with it, and it is possible I would get over it since I do own and love pens much heavier than the Makrolon. I f you don't own the Makrolon I would definitely recommend the stainless, but for me this experience is enough to make me not buy it without an extended writing session.
