...but I find myself only using one - my CF nib Pilot Metropolitan.

It's the only stub nib I've found which is fine enough for my handwriting size - yep it burps on occasion when I fill it, but I only want to use this pen.

Anyone else have far more expensive pens sitting around doing nothing while they use a cheap/mid range pen?

Yes! I have three Lamy2000s I never use (I know, blasphemy), but I use my TWSBI 700Vac Mini daily. I have other, far more expensive pens, but the ones I use most are my TWSBI and a Pilot Custom 823.

I love that this community has so many differing opinions; just reading about it let’s me learn without having to try every pen and ink myself.

Who knows? I might even try those Lamy 2000s again.
