I'm a journalist. I write a lot. Right now I use a kaweco perkeo all black fountain pen. But I want to upgrade. I'm looking for a light weight no screw fountain pen in a higher price class. It has to be durable, can take a lot on ink, an edc and around the 100 dollar mark. What do you guys recommend?

Some follow up questions: Do you do most of your writing at a desk or on the go? Preference for something that looks like a fountain pen or something more "stealthy" to not attract a lot of attention? Does it need to be in the $100 range or are you open to somewhat cheaper suggestions? Have a preference for the body style, filling mechanism, etc?

Most of the time I write at a desk. I want something that looks like a fountain pen, simple not too pricey, nor showy. I have a lamy safari, but I'm not looking for something exactly like that. And the $ 100 dollars range, i can go a little bit over, or even a bit under it. And I've got no preference for any kind of filling mechanism.
