That is a tough question Lynn, I have a lot of favorites and wouldn't want to offend any one pen inparticular. [
] I write alot during the day, I ussually go threw 1 or 2 converters on ink a day. I have about 12 FP inked by my desk. I can tell you for now, I am using my new Emperor the most, fine gold Bexley nib, my Turban top , med. gold, Lamy plastic Safari, fine steel, and a Parker Duofold med gold and my faithfull stand by a Jr gent with a steel caligraphy nib. I grab any one paticular pen for a purpose. If I know I am going to be writing alot non stop, I go for my Parker or Lamy, very light pens, feels like nothing in your hand. If I am infront of a client, taking notes, signing my name, allways my Emperor or Turban Top. But all these pens have the same writing quality, they lay down a line without any pressure to the nib at all. They seem to float on the paper. Not all FP will do that. I have sent a gold nib Delta back to the factory because it wouldn't write, I have a Pilot vanishing point that doesn't write. I polish some of my nibs to smooth them out and hope to learn how to grind some nibs and open up some ink channels to increase the ink flow. All you can ask of a FP, is that it glides on the paper, lays down the line you want and doesn't skip. As far as pen weight, I think if you have several to choose from, it is how you feel that day. So, as far as the nicest pen.....well I would never be caught with just one nice pen [
