Actually the thing I'm most mad about is that my Safari Vista is so well loved, and yet the barrel has yellowed and gotten cloudy in a really annoying way. I'm fine with the letting wearing off, but the yellowing of everything except the grip pisses me off.
anyway, I'm gonna keep shopping for a nice Kaweco Sport and pull the trigger, since the barrels of the Lamy have also really started bothering me as of late. I get a much more comfy grip from a damn Preppy. I would get a Metropolitan if they weren't so heavy ;v;
