I just looked at the bill for the Visconti Blue and I never new it was so expensive!!!! 18USD for 40mL compared to 8.4USD for 62.5mL of the Pelikan Brilliant Black!!!
I noticed that the Pelikan Brilliant Black takes longer to dry than the Mont Blanc Black. It might because my Chopin writes wetter with the Pelikan than with the Mont Blanc.

The Carene is very nice indeed. It's pretty cheap for a pen with a solid 18k gold nib too.
