The difference between cheap and more expensive pen that quality control. I have dozens of Preppy pens, and almost not a single one of them wrote as good as a new Sailor pan out of the box. But again I generally purchase moderately expensive Indian acrylic pens and send them to a nibmeister to work on it and the pens come out better than any branded expensive pens. Once you get a nibmeister work on your nib then the only difference between a cheap and expensive pen is in the quality, style and material of the body (Preppy is too light unless you mod it to eyedropper pen and fill the body with ink completely, this means you will tire faster, compared to a slightly heavier pen).
