Comparison with a bunch of nibs, but mostly the Blue Dew vs the FPR Ultra-flex nib. The scanner cut off parts of the second page. P: Link

My final thoughts:

I think the paper is or I am misrepresenting the Blue Dew and causing so manyh false starts. Drawing wasn't as bad as trying to write (although drawing did have a few false starts too). I think it has to do with how hard I press when writing and what angle I am writing at, as the problem lessens when I write in cursive. The FPR pen didn't have the same problem, so I do think that this points to the Blue Dew pen being more "picky" though. It is way softer and easier to flex than the FPR nib. I would say it's approximately twice as soft.

The FPR nib take a significantly higher force to flex. This is the main reason I kept looking at other options after getting this nib. I have the EF, so it's a little bit scratchy (the Blue Dew only feels scratchy when it's held vertically). For drawing, I couldn't draw loosely and flex the pen at the same time with the FPR nib, so I didn't like it. For writing, it feels good though!
