I have dozens of gen pens; Mont Blanc, Parker, Waterman, Visconte, Nakami, and others I can't remember.
I have 2 rep pens. They were both crap. Both were rollerball and ran out of ink within a week. On one, the cap won't stay closed. The other one, a Mont Blanc RB from WBK, is just pure crap.
If you're looking for a fountain pen, you can get a decent Lamy for under $100, or a Nakami Vanishing Point for about $120. I have too many pens, all you need are a few good ones.
