Well, after messing around with my 2 Pilot Metros (I use them a lot at work, but the fact that any ink I put in them comes out so light drives me nuts), a Jinhao, and some Noodler's (my Ahab is currently being annoying by not writing), I decided to try another under $50 pen. Looking at a few different websites and pics, I ended up finding 2 options - the Rosetta Napoleon and Nussbaum Nicholas.

I ended up ordering the Rosetta Napoleon. I like purple. Plus, SabreBrown on YouTube (who is apparently a complete pen nut) liked it as much as a TWSBI mini although he had to make the Rosetta nib a little wetter (I assume that means pushing the nib in towards the feed/ink supply, or pulling the feed out a bit?).
I'll let y'all know how it writes when it gets here.
I should add that if/when I get another pen, the Nussbaum looks nice. Plus, it comes with a leather sleeve instead of a box, which ought to be fun to play with.
