Pencil has retractable lead pipe and brass clip. Perfect for precision drawing and alignment with other tools. Retractable tip makes it very pocketable.
Only noticeable difference is the retractable tip but it's a nice feature. There is play in the nib, but it is hardly noticeable. People say that there isn’t much of a difference between the 800 and 600. Instructions are distinct & specific.
This is the rotring for those who want a disappearing tip. Every rotring i've ever purchased or used has worked flawlessly. I feel very comfortable in recommending any rotring model.

Highlights
Quality
This is a great product with excellent build quality.
The tips retracts into the pencil for safe keeping of the lead, the lead feels great and writes fantastic.
Against my belief, the pencil doesn't retracts easily everytime.
Since the body of the pencil is faceted rather than round, it does not roll around, even without the clip.

Probably not unless you collect those pencils and enjoy having a variety
