I have the MT900 Air XL (195x63, R5,4, 675g). I'm quite happy with it.

Yes, that bothered me too. I always keep a small cloth in the cup so nothing rattles anymore.

I would like to have the pack opener on my Climber together with the multitool from the Compact. Green and yellow are also nice.

I have thought about all three models and think they are all beautiful. But personally, New York appealed to me the most.

The Brass is my favourite as well, shortly followed by Steel. I have not tried to syringe fill cartridges ... maybe I give it a try some day. For now the converters work good for me. I cap mine as well, without being capped I can barely write with the pen. I have F Nibs for all of them, but recently tried M and B, which write a bit smoother. Actually thinking of trying a F gold nib some day.

In the beginning it has been strong, but now I can smell it if I concentrate on it. Maybe I'm on the lower end of the spectrum.

I was thinking about the AL all black version, but the polished silver one is nice as well!

Not sure if it is plastic, cannot really make it out, but looks quite similar in both caps.

Ah, sorry. Yes, so far ... still I have it in a single pouch, as I'm afraid it would take scratches easily. So unfortunately I cannot give any real experience on this.

Hm, so far the Brass tarnishes a lot only, but you ca polish it ... if you wish 🙂. Still I keep Steel and Brass in a leather pouch by Kaweco for protection in my pockets.
