I'd say that, especially in a full gold nib, they're more than a little >> bic. I had a Townsend w/custom 18k nib that would eat any ink and work forever (or at least as far as that little converter would last). That's my only issue with them - the converter and it's sad few drops of ink.
Staying out of the really expensive pens I find Pelikans (needing nib work usually) and Pilots with piston or vacuum fillers are the go-to.
TBH I've never been Mont Bonked. I'm sure they're great, but I'm really liking the Japanese pens now and a hot-rodded Pelikan satisfies me for now if I need something Euro.
