i'll add to it - i think i write as fast with one as with the other. It is
simply the beauty of the pen and ink that encourages me to take more time
with my handwriting. I do think some specialty nibs *do* slow you down. A
very crisp italic is best handled at an easy pace - not necessarily slow,
but slower than I would scribble with a normal nib.
