Poll: Mont Blanc or Pilot G2

i voted G2, mont blanc's are high maintence pens, PITA unless you collect them n stuff. Heh, shuda seen my father when he lost his marble poe edition mont blanc hehe.
 
I don't care, but G2s are like butter, as well as those little cross pens that cost 20 bucks.

I kinda like blue ballpoint pens though, old school and cheap as hell.
 
As an avid pen collector (yes, you read that right), there's only one Mont Blanc that I've ever been impressed with. It was a gunmetal barreled fountain pen that was bastard-cut (think like a file -- grooved at one angle and then grooved at another angle); and in each of the intersections of the cuts (four thousand small intersections) there was a diamond. (The pen is mentioned in this article.)

Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I find balance and weight lacking on most Mont Blancs -- I much prefer Cross in thie regard. Although I do know a lot of people who do like Blancs proving it is personal preference. I certainly wouldn't place a disposable G2 in the same category as a Mont Blanc however. If you just want something to toss around and jot things down with, you might be better off with the G2. Having said that, I carry my low-end (~$100) Cross fountain with me everywhere, so YMMV as always.
