I paid $37.

Because of my clumsiness and in fear of breaking
my Montblanc Meisterstuk 149 that was given to me
decades ago in my youth by my mom ,
I, first, bought an $11 clone, the Jinhao 159 for it's heft.

But, wanting to have a piston pen fill + being able
see the amount of ink in a larger reservoir, I went
with the above.

Also, all that said, I've been using a fountain pen daily
for less than two years, and, personally, prefer the
fountain pen; but, I'm not doing blue collar work.

My first career was engineering in the construction field before the Great Recession. I learned to love these pens, especially the V3 and V5. Readily available and fairly precise so I keep them in stock even though I no longer am involved in field surveys or construction.
Once you have a bond with something, it can be difficult to let it go. If it makes you happy, that's all that matters.
