Couldn't help it. On the other hand, it could be AS LOW AS $75!!! That's a bargain!

That's a lot of Diamine.

There's a seller on eBay named engeika

I am on to the 6th day of waiting for them to send me an invoice so I can pay for a converter. It even says in the listing how much shipping will cost me but there when I try to pay for it.

So I'm thinking about a Kaweco Dia2 or a Lamy 2000. Maybe neither. I dunno. I've been drawn to the Lamy for years now because of its iconic design, its gold nib, and piston filler. There's even an example of one in a museum! See? Iconic. I've just never bought it for some reason.

The Dia2 on the other hand is just plain ole art deco (?) gorgeousness! I'm also more impressed by Kaweco pens than those made by Lamy. I've held off because I can't decide on chrome or gold trim. If the Dia2 writes as nice as my Sport, I'll be very pleased.

Anyone have any thoughts or advice on this one? I know the 2000 is the more popular/famous pen, and it's generally well liked.
