I received a Knox Galileo today. I don't know why, I guess I just felt like buying something.
The feel of the pen is nice. About the same size as my 78G but metal. Not too heavy. I bought the Extra Fine nib, which actually appears to be at least as thick as the 78G Medium. When capped, it's a tad unbalanced, but not overly so.
However, the nib is too wet. It's causing some feathering on my cheap Walmart Norcom paper, and bleeds through if I don't write quickly. I don't know much about adjusting fountain pens yet, but I hope this is something I can correct, because otherwise I really like the pen.
Please forgive the very crappy handwriting...
