Nice Parkers jbloudg20! I have never used a 21... what is the difference between a 51 and a 21 apart from size? Your P51 is vacumatic right? How is the bladder? Have you had to replace it yet?
Because I'm too lazy to look through 15 pages of a thread, I thought I'd post this. (Feel free to yell at me if it's a repost.)
With a little work (i.e., shaving off the end), the Mont Blanc rollerball refills fit into the G2 pens. Costs about $18 for two pens (plus two normal G2s, too) and writes beautifully. I can't say that I'd spend $200 on a pen, but then again, if I'm willing to spend that on headphones...

Eh.. Rollerballs are no fun.
The 21 writes a lot like the 51, and is much cheaper, so you can beat on it, and it wont matter. They are virtually the exact same size, and both have hooded nibs (obviously).
My 51 is Vaccumatic, but I bought it restored, so I shouldn't have a problem for a while.
I am expecting my 2 new 21's this week... one looks to be a super, as it has the 51 nib. I'm looking forward to restoring them!
Yeah, but what with spending all my money on headphones, even though I'd like a good fountain pen, it doesn't seem to be in the budget.

There are many good modern day entry level fountain pens for even less. Parker Frontier, Lamy Safari, Pelikan Pelikano etc. All very good fountain pens, just without the bling bling and fancy nibs. But still way better than a rollerball.
