When you're trying to decide between two pens, you'd probably like to see them side by side. Now you can do that on our site. I've created a new Compare Pens Side by Side page that allows you to choose any of the pens we offer and display them on a grid like the one that's on each of our brand pages. Now you can actually see the M800 right next to the 100, and maybe a Signum Carina and a Namiki Bamboo, too. This feature should make comparison shopping a little easier, and -- we hope -- a lot more fun.

Thank you. As we add more models from the brands we represent, or if we take on additional brands, we'll add more models to the comparison page.

Richard, this is fantastic, congratulations. The one thing I wish existed was a similar chart to compare nib widths. I know, I know, they vary from batch to batch, they vary from user to user, and so forth, but it would be nice to see the relative differences, say, of Pilot nibs with Conway Stewart nibs (on average, I bet that their Fines are quite different).

Very cool.

Now what we need is fo someone to copy this idea and all pens be added to it!!

Superbly done, Mr. B. I've been playing with this the past few days. I now finally have a grasp of how big the Churchill really is. yikes.gif

Hey Richard,

I also love this feature...but I have found it hard to find when navigating your site. What page is the link located on site? So far I haven't found it (of course I could be very dull), and I've had to refer back to this post.

I like it, but those Inches suck rotten frogs through a garden hose. Please, go metric. At least give us metric units as an option.
