...but I find myself only using one - my CF nib Pilot Metropolitan.

It's the only stub nib I've found which is fine enough for my handwriting size - yep it burps on occasion when I fill it, but I only want to use this pen.

Anyone else have far more expensive pens sitting around doing nothing while they use a cheap/mid range pen?

Yup. I love my TWSBI Ecos, though my Lamy 2000 is also a workhorse. I have a few Pilot Capless pens but I haven't had much luck with the nibs - pretty disappointing given the cost. I also appreciate that I don't worry about the cheaper pens and feel more comfortable using them as tools.

Too bad about your feeling in the Capless pens. I have 3 myself and love all of them (my favorite is my red wood one). They're not the everyone, but if be very upset if they were to vanish.
