Speaking of buying more pens...
 

Swisher received the last of the modified Kaweco Sport Ice ED fps. After
they're gone, there won't be anymore. I got mine and while the standard
short cartridge holds about .5 ml of ink, an ED holds about 2.5 ml.

Something I've found with the Kawecos is that the orange pens consistently
have the finest nibs. I bought two regular fps and an ED and they're the
same width. The nibs of the red Ices I bought vary. The two greens are
almost as fine as the oranges. The two blues are the broadest, but are still
on the fine side of mediums. The clear medium ED that I bought was so broad
that I returned it.

I also bought a few fine Classics. These are just as broad as the medium
orange Ices.

Ink plays a huge role in how broad a line they write. For example, drier
inks such as MB produce a finer line than the ink in the included cartridge
and Noodler's Apricot Orange and Diamine Orange each write a much broader
line than my 1:4 mix of Diamine + Conway Stewart Oranges.
