I also never had brass in mind, not because of the up keep, but because honestly I thought it always was a bit too opulent for me. I did like it on the Precise + 10 maybe because it was small and elegant, but on large
devices, It shouted "look at me, I cost a lot" but on ELA, it makes me take it all back. I dont know if its the finish or the particular tone of the brass, but it looks so clean and subdued.
Im going to have to order a set for those special occasions. I love it. Now, Im going to have to find some brass drip tips, Dang you Super-T, now you opened up a whole new obsession for me, I
HAVE to go brass drip tip shopping, Im TRYING
NOT to spend money.
The only other device that brass looked "right" on was the Caravela, because of the Nautical design.
