I recently tried the New Release from Delta (39+1) it dries out quickly and I am not impressed with the Nib. Went to Chicago and purchased a Custom Pilot Urushi. I can leave it sit for 2 weeks and it will start to write instantly. I have tried diplomat fountain pens and the nib works well but they dry out if not used every few days. I am very happy with Pilot.
My wife has close to 50 fountain pens and I have seen really nice results from sailor and her 823 pilot (She is a Author/Writer) and when I let her try my Custom Pilot she put on her wish list a Pilot Custom 845. The japanese pens are in my opinion Real Writers.
