This is a good list but it has a massive jump in levels from $40 to $200+.
I would say that Platinum 3776 belongs in between these levels and not alongside the 2000 and Vanishing Point. Other entries on this level may include:
- Faber Castell Loom: Faber Castell steel nibs are absolutely buttery smooth. My favourite steel nibs and better than most gold nibs. The grip section is a bit slippery.
- Twsbi 580ALR: Beautiful colours, piston filler, good nibs, great value.
- Platinum Curidas: A capless pen like the Vanishing Point but in cheaper materials. Still a great option at a lower price since it's such a unique type.
- Pilot Custom 92: If you can source it from Japan. North American prices are crazy.
