Trim 1/8" off a Mont Blanc ballpoint refill and it fits right into the Pilot G2. It's one of those things where you won't believe the difference, or even that there is a difference, until you try a really good pen.

In what way are you close enough to the industry to be paranoid? I've never had a problem with generics and the ones I get are manufactured by the same companies as the name brands.
I agree 100% about good pens. There's a huge difference.

My wife and some friends work for biotech companies. It is absolutely unbelieveable how much care (and expense) goes into manufacturing bio-meds. They are not compiled by mixing chemicals. They are grown by living things and processed and refined. It's an incredibly intricate process.

Like I said, aspirin - OK. But if I had cancer, I'd want the real deal. Not something made in China that is "supposed" to be jut as good.
