I almost went down that route! I settled for a $5 Platinum Preppy instead for a few years and picked up a Procyon recently. Don't think I'd spend anything more than that though. I tested out some $250-500 pens and didn't notice a difference but from Preppy -> Procyon is huge with how much smoother the Procyon is.
