Peter I am sure the reason I like my Plaisirs was that they came to me early in my Platinum Pen splurge of buying. I love the Aluminum body with all of the pretty colours (I have them all but the Black Mist) and most of mine have a smooth medium nib. Yes the Preppy and the Plaisir can be swapped and even though it is a small nib I really do not mind it. Now you will notice I have just added the Pelikan M600 to the Forum under Pens and the quality of that pen and nib is totally different both in quality and cost. But may I say that I just wrote with a Plaisir and if someone needs a good writer for no money…well the Plaisir is not a bad choice. I have the Balance and the Cool as well…and all equally good. But remember I am really biased towards Platinum! 
Thank you for always responding to me. I enjoy your posts and would love to see more of your doodles!
