What does this author want to cover? Good looking expensive stuff?
Just buy a Pilot Metropolitan or a Lamy Safari. Or even a Platinum Preppy. These pens are extremely cheap.
And beyond these pens, if you notice any improvement in smoothness and comfort of writing, I would throw that in the margin of error.
People have their reasons to buy more expensive pens. But if smoothness, comfort are your goal, then you can buy what I said.
Metal-body Lamys and Pilots are also generational wealth. You can hand over one to your daughter after you write 40 years with it.
My favorite fountain pen so far is: Pilot Custom 823. That's a bit expensive.
But I used Metropolitan, Preppy, and Safari for close to a decade. And I had only these pens. Nothing else.
