Pros & Cons
Pros
The decimo is worth the splurge. The nib itself -- i opted for fine point here -- is truly quite fine. It's pricey, it's flawed, but it's a one-of-a-kind experience.

The retractable nib mechanism for which the pen is named is impressively well engineered and works flawlessly. The pen feels solid and hasn't leaked on me so far. On july 1, 2010, my house was burgled and the pen was stolen.

Competitiveness
I would use pilot iroshizuku bottled fountain pen ink.
