The only one of those I’ve had the pleasure of using is the Metropolitan - given the right ink and a careful touch on the squeeze converter, they can be fun. A daily driver for me, it is not, but when I really want to lay down wetter inks it’s pretty awesome.
My favorite inks rapidly tend to find their favorite pens - I tried Hana Ikada out in the Metropolitan, and picking it up to use it didn’t bring a smile to my face. On the other hand, the right Iroshizuku ink and a Sailor nib combine to guarantee brightening my day - even if I’m using it to write a eulogy. (Hopefully not!)
I have learned so much from the community on the old place, and still have much to learn in the FP hobby, but I’m having a great time along the way.
