The demonstrator benchmark: piston and vacuum fillers at $40-70 that ship with a wrench and silicone grease because you are expected to take them apart. The Eco is the default first 'real' fountain pen recommendation.
Loved for the mechanism and the serviceability, and dogged by cracking — the barrels and caps of several generations have a reputation for crazing at the threads. TWSBI replaces them readily, which is itself part of the brand's standing. This is the pen the Chinese budget vacuum fillers are measured against.
