This review made me order one. I found it in Extra Fine nib, was surprised because I thought it could only be found as broad, mediam and fine. Got to wait a few days now

I have an Ambition, also in pearwood, and I like it a lot. I have an F nib, and I agree that it is stiff. That's one thing I like about it. I use it a lot at work, where I don't necessarily want my documents to have a lot of shading and line variation. I also like the feel of wood on the barrel.

Although I don't plan to run out and buy one, did you know it also comes in coconut?

I have owned and sold, a couple of guilloche models (regret doing so)which were equipped with glassy smooth fine point gold nibs (think they were 18kt). I have a couple of e-motions, and ondoros, all with fine point steel nibs that are so glassy smooth, you might become a believer that a steel nib can hold its own compared to a gold nib...as long as you don't make comparisons with Japanese nibs which are, well, heavenly on all counts..

Is ther a big difference between the Pear and Coconut version? I prefer the idea of having harder coconut wood but I'm wondering if it's worth the $50 price bump.
