Its not a secret that as writer I hold Omas as the best and most of it due to there amazing nibs.
So I was wondering how well does Aurora nibs stand in comparison to the Omas nibs.

I would like to get an Aurora pen sooner or later but would hate to be dissapointed with its writing charectaristics.

Well, as a user of Omas, Aurora, Stipula and Delta nibs, my personal preference is
1. Stipula large nibs, 14K or 18K, although 18K is slightly more springy
2. Aurora gold nibs
3. Delta nibs
4. -

Yep, Omas nibs don't feature in my personal preference list. But that is my preference. IMO, nothing comes close to Stipula large nibs.

Warm regards, Wim

They're nothing alike, which isn't to say that one is better than the other. Compared to the OMAS nibs I've used, Aurora's nibs might be considered stiff and a little on the dry side (depending on the ink, of course, and the nib width). To that, you should add the feedback for which Aurora's nibs are known; I happen to enjoy it, others don't. In short, if OMAS's nibs are your barometer, then I would be sure to try out an Aurora before purchasing one. That, or you could order it from John M. and specify your likes and dislikes. Regards,
David

I prefer the Omas nibs.

As somebody else pointed out, if this is your first Aurora, try it at a B&M store before committing.

I don't think I could have said it any better than David. However, my preference these days is for Stipula nibs (F nibs in particular).

Yes the OMAS nibs, being bock nibs will be like butter on a hot plate, they will glide ( I assume from my Visconti and other bock nibs I have tried), the Aurora nibs (and here I only refer to the 88, Optima and talentum nibs), let you know where they are on the paper and what they are doing, I prefer this, so I guess try before you buy is the best advice...

I have found Omas nibs to be far too wet for my tastes--it seems as though they are built that way to help ensure that their nibs will 'glide' on paper. (One of them was purchased from John Mottishaw, whom I can trust for having tested it for the fidelity of its ink flow.) Other, more established figures on this site have noted this trait in other threads. Sorry, but no experience with Aurora.

Hello goodguy,

for me there is only one choice: OMAS. They are smooth writers with a very flexible nib (I used about 6 OMAS). My Auroras have very stiff nibs. For me it's easier to write with more flexible nibs.
