These are very good pens, for the price especially; I had a medium-nib one at one point (gave it to a friend). If you live in the US and NOT in New Jersey or California (i.e. you don't have to pay tax), then this drop is a great way to save a dollar or two. However, even at the lowest drop pricepoint, with shipping and tax, the drop BARELY beats Amazon (there are a couple body+nib combinations—medium nib generally—that are a few cents LESS than the drop+tax+shipping). If you are starting out your pen collection and would like a couple of solid pens—equal performers but hey! color coded for ink color or something—this is probably a great deal. Some drops—like the current Yamaha monitor speaker drop—offer a really massive discount, and joining the drop (if you're in that market) is a no-brainer. Drops like this, though, are arguably about what you want and need versus what you are willing to pay for convenience and choice—for less than a dollar more (in Massdrop-taxed areas especially), you can get your preferred body+nib combo whenever you want from Amazon. Again, though, if you're just starting to amass a pen collection so you have two or three of your favorite inks always on hand (or if you just really like the Metropolitan), this remains a great drop.
