I have become tired of the poor quality in Lamy of late, they didn't even fix the last one I sent them, so I'm hesitant to buy another one. I was using a Pilot Metropolitan, but my 3 year old got it and ruined it. I will be replacing it, but I also wanted to try Sheaffer. They have the 100 and the cheaper VFM. Which one is the best value? The 100 is more expensive than the VFM, but are those extra dollars well spent? And even though the VFM is cheap, does it have it where it counts (good nib, smooth writing experience?). Just wanted to know opinions before I bought.
