This came up some days ago in regards to the El Grande pen. It was mentioned that the pens feels light, and, therefore, cheap.
I had a chance today to weigh some pens, Montblanc Ballpoint and pencil that belong to a colleague.
Here it is:
Montblanc BP: 22 gramm
Montblanc Pencil: 27 gramm
Both made form dark red plastic (or resin as it sounds better) material.
I had one pen, a Berea European Doubletwist made from Kingwood, on hand - this pen is the same size and shape as the Montblancs, it weighed in with just a tad under 40 gramm!
This is quite a weight difference! I have no idea what the price of the MB pens were, but my colleague told me they were both over $150 a piece.
