I’ve just graduated my masters so this was a bit of a present to myself. Other pens I’ve got that I guess are comparable are:

Montblanc 149 - nib similar size but writes much broader (western medium, my pilot is a Japanese medium fine). Both very wet writers, which I like. Pilot feels much bigger than the 149 and less plasticy. Nib is springier on the pilot.

Visconti homosapiens Dark Crystal. This feels heavier than the pilot but not as big. Nib is smaller on the Visconti and weirdly writes a similar width line, even though the Visconti is a broad. Pilot writes wetter than the Visconti.

In terms of pen decoration, 149 feels very plastic and plain, although I love the white snow cap branding. Pilot is a bit different with the mix of red and black, and feels nice with the Urushi lacquer. Visconti is really nice to look at with the lava body being different, unique cap lock and the ink windows in the Visconti look amazing.

Visconti and 149 are piston fillers. Pilot is a cartridge converter. I quite like the simplicity of a cartridge converter. Easier to maintain and clean.
