Aurora Ambienti: what do you think?

[SWNH]

I'm considering purchasing one of these; does anyone have any experience with this line?  Thanks.

the Ambienti is a spiced up version of the Aurora 88 BIG with nicely coloured cracked type of resin and finely adorned metal trim.

Although I do not own one, I would have no doubt as to the good value an performance of this pen, I just find that the metal section is less desirable than the resin section on the standard 88 Big and the much higher asking price is not easily justified unless you really realy like the look of it.

 

If I had to choose a nicely coloured resin special edition version I would probably prefer a 8"88" version like the Plutone, which has a resin section (I own the Saturno, which is a lovely looking and performing pen).

Thanks, I hear you on the metal grip.  The Ambienti does have some different specs from the 88 that I like:  11 mm grip and 28 gram body.

Looks pretty massive to me if you like that kind of pen! I second what @sansenri writes. I have the 8’88”Nettuno and prefer the  lightness of the standard 88 design.
