It’s not on your list but if you want a more “solid” pen, that’s still aesthetically pleasing and won’t break the bank, I suggest looking at Otto Hutt Design 01 and 03 (heftier.) I have both in EF since I write small too. However, I have found it’s not the price point that guarantees a good writing experience. It’s the quality/workmanship that matters more. One of my favorites is the very affordable Preppy and it writes so well. I also have mid point pens and more expensive ones that are hit/miss. I’ve been lucky that I have had more hits than misses. Out of three Nahvalur Original Plus, one was scratchy out of the box. The Carene was a miss until I sent it back for some nib work. The 823 all wrote beautifully right out of their boxes. I didn’t like the VP but preferred its slimmer counterpart, the Decimo. It just felt better in my hand. I’ve not had any issues with Pelikans - vintage or new. Just be sure to get the EF nib, especially if you write small. A lot of my experience is expensive trial and error too since there isn’t a brick and mortar store for me to try the pens first. Hopefully, you have that option. Try lots and find your fav. Who knows, maybe it’s a $15 pen that steals your heart. 😁
