Ditto using a fountain pen when signing a lot of documents! Nothing easier on the hand. I have some great ones, but sadly don't use them much anymore. It is hard to keep them clean and operating well with so little use. I have an inexpensive Lamy Safari that leaks like my old '72 Vega--but I can't bring myself to throw it away. But the good ones I have and love to use include 3 great Parkers from the 90's (including a great Sterling 75), and a Sheaffer White Dot.
$200-$2800 for a pen? I needs to start hanging around with you fellas more often. 
I'll give you $25 for that right now!
I love my Pelican and a few vintage Parker Vacumatic pens. Take care of them and keep them out of high pressure situations and they will perform flawlessly.
