I was just wondering because I'd like to have a Prera with a calligraphy nib, but I'm also not a fan of the wretched white cap on the demonstrators for which a calligraphy is exclusively available, so I was planning on doing the old Prera/Plumix nib switch trick. I was just worried that—based on the price difference—there might also be a difference in the quality of the nib. Also, here in Europe one can buy a Plumix set with three different calligraphy nibs for about 20€, so it's a fairly inexpensive way to get a solid lineup for the Prera.

I'm...You're welcome! Glad you like them :)<br /><br />I'm not 100% certain but just based on memory and comparing them myself, I'd guess they were the same - not marked the same though. The Prera is CM and the Plumix is M, but they seem to be about the same italic width.Azizah Asgaralihttp://www.gourmetpens.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484890041572022255.post-38655253590366466452015-05-13T12:36:23.684-04:002015-05-13T12:36:23.684-04:00Hi Azizah,

I really appreciate your fine writing samples. :)<br /><br />I know they're interchangeable, so I was wondering if you could tell me if there is actually any difference between the CM nib on the Prera and the M nib on Plumix.emceeATDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484890041572022255.post-44112792813380839642013-09-26T14:03:57.806-04:002013-09-26T14:03:57.806-04:00Nice review!

I totally agree with you about the cap; what were those Pilot peeps thinking? It really sucks to get ink between the outer and inner caps. Boo minus. But it's a fun little pen otherwise.Melissa Leilani Larsonhttps://melissaleilanilarson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484890041572022255.post-44514426799729124212013-09-26T09:51:01.244-04:002013-09-26T09:51:01.244-04:00Awesome review as always.

The cap is a bad design for a demo'r and the pen was too small for my tastes. Too bad because it was a good writer, though I had the more boring medium. You're ink color choices are the bomb BTWBob McConnellnoreply@blogger.com
