pilot g2 1.00 mm - is it "too big" or "pleasant enough"?

[Azkim Rikschum]

pilot "G2" and pentel energel are easy to find around in 0.7 size. Sometimes in 0.5 format, also.

However 1.00 are not (for me) so easy to find in a store, so eventually I can buy them online but... it's a 12x pack. So it will be a blind buy.

Online reviews don't help because they span from 1 star to to 5 stars with creative reasoning, both sides, as everything on amazon.

Maybe your opinion is more technical since this forum is focused in pens.

 

I would like to try the 1.00 because I think that the 07 is not so big in my opinion... it seems quite similar to 05 beside the fact that I find the 05 feeling too fatiguing since the possible tilt angle of the pen while writing is too narrow (for me). The 07 simply feels better than 05 to me, but not so big. However the 05 with needle tip is fantastic when compiling forms with a small layout.

So maybe, if the "step up" and the gap is the same between 05 and 07... well I think that in the end the 1.00 will be just a bit more friendly than 07 but the line quite similar.

Is this assumption wrong?

The thing that worries me is the fact that 07 is the most common/diffused...so I indirectly think "Why nobody likes it in 1.00?"

I had tried Energel 1.0mm, but it is way too big for comfortable writing. I like 0.7 both Pilot G2 and Energel better.

I find 0.7 to be on the edge of uncomfortably large. I find 1.0 to be like writing with a marker.
