For the past year or so I have been a great fan of Pilot Precise V5 RT pens: loved the ink flow and needle tip. BUT, I RIPPED through them. One day I ended up throwing out 4 pens because they all went empty the same day. I couldn't justify the refill cost, vs simply buying new pens, which really bothered me.
Well, my search is over. The Rotring Rapidograph 0.5mm is the pen I was searching for. Lays down nice dark black ink as I write (which is all I do, I don't draw), feels great in the hand, and the refills are economical. I can get over that I have to take the cap off (vs. just click the retractable Pilot Precise V5).
I have a few more V5's to use up, but this is my new favorite for writing up my patient records. I love my Kaweco fountain pen for correspondence and things I want to have a more personal flare, but this is my new "workhorse".

I used these pens for a good number of years for commercial art classes they are truely workhorse pens because it got to the point they were the only pens i used for everything!they are worth the cost they hold up well the only reason i dont have mine anymore is my ex husband took them
