Have I ever mentioned how much I like this pen? NO, I haven't--it's a dog--very overrated!
Think of a really delicious sandwich with everything you like and as much of it as you want...now think of a single slice of bologna between two slices of Wonder Bread--and nothing else.
That's a Pilot Metropolitan. Yum...

RayFJust saw your comment. What pen at this price point do you think is better than the Metro? I think it punches way above its weight. I would like the pen more if it had a larger ink capacity, a gold nib and a better grip, but that’s just wanting a $200 pen for $10.

RayFThanks! I have a Chinese pen on its way to me right now (Wing Sung 601) that was very inexpensive. I’ll check out the pen you linked and perhaps thank you again later.
I still think the Metro is a better starter pen than some of the others that get recommended, like the Safari and the Eco. It’s not as sexy, for sure, but has a much better nib in my experiene for a cheaper price.
