I may be biased--the Pilot Metro is the first fountain pen I bought. I do not have any plans to buy pens as an investment or ever spend over $50. I think this pen is perfect. I enjoy the weight of it and the length. It is a great looking pen--comes in a nice case with a refillable reservoir, although I have just been using the disposable. Personally I see no need for another fountain pen, unless maybe a finer nib size is needed. The price is so reasonable that I have bought several as gifts. I have purchased several other pens in similar to slightly higher price ranges. This one outshines them all, in my amateur opinion.

I can't believe how buttery this pen is. The weight is just right and nib excellent.

I write with this pen every day now. It's beautiful and writes smoothly. Like most fountain pens, it does leak a little on occasion, so I try to store it upright and prevent drops and other sudden movements. To keep the bottom of the pen clean and to write with a lighter weight pen, I keep it uncapped.

Love these Metropolitans, as they write like a dream, all the time. I've since purchased the aqua in a medium to test the difference. I love both nibs, just depends on my preference for the day. I put the Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki-shikibu (violet) ink in it and it's beautiful, performs well, it caps with a nice click, and posts well but again I don't, as I don't want to create any scratches from posting. The violet is as lucious as it looks on my laptop and has a matte finish, very classy, especially when you consider it's under twenty bucks! Would make a nice gift. My sons birthday is next month, I'm getting him the Taupe/animal print, nice manly look with a nice weight in the hand.

Love it! Have had mine for a while, filled with Noodlers Purple Wampam. These pens are perfect for everyday, desk duty. I keep mine in my office on the desk inked and ready for use. Very happy with my purchase.
