I was just checking.. the CG is only bout 1/8" - 1/4" further back compared to Jr Gent II when not posted.. If you post Jr it gets very tail heavy. It looks big but there isn't much to the end cap and the palm isn't a heavy wood so it's not that bad.
I can't say how it writes. It's a gift and I don't want to load it with ink before shipping it off. I have another Panache kit and more palm so maybe I'll try that one out.
