TBF the Neogaf Pen15 would sell like gangbusters. Do a collab with Mia Khalifa to see how much ink it can really take.

Only catch is that it only writes with a milky white ink.

-Ultra Flex or Vintage Flex for easy line variation

0.2mm?! And vintage flex?! Damn, you're picky!
You'd honestly be best of with a vintage pen then, if you can find one at a decent price.
If you want some choice of modern pens, and are happy with a slightly thicker line and some flex, then any Japanese soft EF nib will do.
For those, the Pilot Elabo/Falcon line is good.
There's the Noodler's Triple Rail Flex at a very good price, but it's thick. I've never tried it, but it does look easy to maintain.
However, I think it looks cheap, even for a transparent pen (but not for the price). And again, it's thick.
JetPens.com - Noodler's Triple Tail Flex Fountain Pen
Featuring a special three-tined flex nib, the Triple Tail offers excellent line variation and a generous ink flow to keep up with the demands of flex nib calligraphy. It also features a handmade ebonite feed and a piston filling system that can be removed, letting you fill the entire barrel with...

The more I write with computers the more I appreciate pen and paper. I don’t know if it’s me getting old but electronic notes and tasks just do not stick so much in my head as when I write them down.
I probably have like 10 MB LEs, including the Qing Dynasty one with a jade cap. Need to figure out with what should I write.
