Just got this pen today and I am impressed. great packaging and presentation. the fit and finish are amazing for the price and it writes great. I ordered the stealth black version with a fine nib and i wouldnt change a thing. as other have said this fine nib is like a medium from pretty much everywhere else so choose with that in mine. no dry start issues what so ever.
the pen is heavy in a good way. its built like a tank. i love that all you need is about a 3/4 of the cap to remove it from the barrel. when it is removed you will probably want to avoid posting it. the pen becomes extremely long and back heavy if you do.
one double edged sword with this pen is the grip. because its knurled you get excellent traction and i find it very comfortable to hold. however, because of this after you fill it with the converter attached you will end up with a fair amount of ink within the crevices. unless you do a thorough job absorbing it all with the paper towel you will get ink all over your finger tips. it would have been nice if there was a smooth portion of the grip about a 1/4 long right behind the nib so this doesnt happen. in my opinion, this negative is easily worth the comfort of the current grip.
given the price of this pen i dont hesitate in giving it a 9/10. if the aforementioned change to the grip is made it would be a solid 10.

MargucciI also got the black stealth, with the medium, which writes like a BROAD, but I prefer stub nibs, so that is perfectly fine with me. I didnt have the same issues you have with the grip and filling it. I'm a pen geek and ink on your fingers is kind of a badge of honor. :-)
