Burnt Orange Vs. Grand Place Vs. Vibrant Blue

[rudyhou]

I was uncertain when I first saw pictures of the Burnt Orange so waited until I saw it at a pen show. I ultimately decided it wasn't for me. I bought a Grand Place based on pictures and have been very happy with it. My Vibrant Blue (also purchased based on pictures) is being shipped today.

 

Given that they are all 800's, the size and feel are the same. The nibs can be moved from pen to pen and don't know which color pen holds them. So to me, the writing experience depends on nib, ink, and paper more than specific barrel color when comparing one 800 to another. Any difference is more emotional than physical.

 

Sorry I can't answer your question any better with the direct comparison you asked for. I'll be able to get closer next week after arrival of the Vibrant Blue!

Oh, heck no! I actually don't write all that much, and have so many other pens. I usually only have a few inked at any one time, but rotate them regularly.

 

Currently the Grand Place and the recently arrived Vibrant Blue are inked.

same here. i ink only one or two pens at a time and rotate the usage of my pen and ink collection on monthly basis. otherwise, too many will be sitting untouched in my drawers.

I decided to have Vibrant Blue. I will receive the pen in a few days.
