I appreciate your insight! I had no idea that you could diy a pen. Shows I’ve got a lot to learn!Almost all mine are "beginner" pens, as what many folks would consider "proper" pens, really do not appeal to me at all. I'm not fond of plastic pens, threads under my fingers, or high price tags. Most of mine have had a little DIY nib refinement (quick, cheap and easy), to get the best from them, and they all work how I need them to.
Below £20, the ones that work well for me are Baoer 388, Wing Sung 3008, Helix Oxford, Sheaffer VFM, and Ohto Tasche. Some I have had a few months, and some others, a few years. At a slightly higher price, I have had good experience with Parker IM fountain pens.
