Best body/pen for nemosine .6mm stub?

I've been looking into my first fountain pen, bought not use, and the nemosine .6mm stub seems very appealing. I know it is a #6 and fits into pens that can have that kind of nub. Any reccommendations on the best pen for the nemosine .6mm? Ideally under 50 dollars. I'm drifting towards a Jinhao x450 or x750. My preferences for the body astetic are basically just solid color and not cheap plastically looking.

Thanks for any reccommendations. : )

If you like heavier pens the x450 or the x750 are very solid pens for the price. If you want a bit lighter pen a Jinhao 80 would be a good choice. Now with a budget of 50 dollars you could do a pilot metropolitan, Lamy Safari, twsbi eco or similar as well. Those would all be solid choices.

Edit: Sorry did not read your post in detail. Duh! You want a pen that can fit a #6 nib? Did I get that right? Is this a nib unit or just the nib? The x450 and x750 will certainly fit a #6 nib.

Just the nib I believe. 0.6 Stub #6 Polished - https://www.birminghampens.com/products/nemosine-german-nib-6-6mm-stub

Does that mean it uses the nib unit of whatever pen I buy? Does that imply there could be pens with better units than the x450 and x750 I might want to consider?

That should work with the Jinhao x450, x750. You can just pull out the nib with the feed on them. Then replace the nib with the one you linked and insert it back. It is just a fiction fit in the section. You are good to go.

Actually there are many videos on the tube on how to change the nib on them. Watch one of those and you are set
