Aurora Style/ipsilon/tu Advice

[Ste_S]

I'm probably going to pick up my first Aurora sometime soon, and it'll be the steel nibbed Style, Ipsilon or Tu.

 

I've heard the Style feels quite cheap ? How do the Ipsilon and Tu compare ?

 

Would also probably be buying an Italic or Broad, so would like to hear of any experiences with those.

I normally prefer a broader, wetter pen, so would also like to hear if you don't think Aurora fit the bill in that regard.

 

Thanks !

Sorry to bump the thread, but you know how it is when you're waiting to buy a pen !

 

The retailer (an official Aurora retailer) doesn't seem to know much about the italic nib option despite stocking them. Any experience with Aurora italics ? Interested if it's 1.1mm or smaller, larger is too big for my needs.

I wouldn't buy a Style. The Ipsilon is a great pen and definitely worth the extra money. I had a style ballpoint and rollerball years ago and the cap became loose after it was used (albeit a good amount).

I had an Ipsilon and sold it about a year ago. I miss it quite a bit. The steel nib is rather springy and it's a sharp looking pen. It posts well and is perfectly balanced. I think it's a highly under-rated pen and not advocated enough here on FPN. Highly recommend -- it's a gateway to an Aurora 88 or Talentum, though...

Thanks folks. Couldn't find anything much written about the factory italic, so took it safe and ordered an Ipsilon with a Broad nib
