So, I know I might be taking a bias risk here with all the Mont Blanc aficionados but you all are so knowledgeable here about FPs in general. I want to purchase one of the pens mentioned for my big B-day (what better way to celebrate). Tell the truth I still need to go to the store to see both IRL. I really love the elegant lines and understated elegance of Marlene but Miya seduces me with her turquoise depth of ocean-like waves. I was wondering if any of you possibly had a chance to write with those two and how they compare. I know it's always a very personal matter, but your experience would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure if the barrel on Miya wouldn't be to "fat" - I don't really like bulky barrels - but this I can check on my own.

So please let me know how each of these pens writes for you

Thanks
A.
