Pilot 78G+ = The New 78G? - The Fountain Pen Network
Hi Everyone, Last year a pen starting popping up for sale in China that looks like a legitimate reincarnation of the discontinued but beloved Pilot 78G.

Upcoming retail price hikes for Pilot and Sailor fountain pens ...
Pilot uses such nibs in the Kakuno, 78G+, Lightive/Explorer, Cocoon/MR, and Prera models; and Sailor uses such nibs in the Procolor 500 (by any other name, e.g. Shikiori HIsakata) and Profit Casual models. I don't think there's any real call for improving them as for as writing performance goes.

Pilot v. Uni-ball - The Fountain Pen Network
The Pilot VBall is a simple and straighforward pen that seems to glide across the page a lot smoother than the Uni-ball Vision. This smoothness is even more evident when writing with the Pilot Precise V5/V7 series. Perhaps, if Pilot's ink was bullet-proof, I would not be so torn between these two pen makers.

Pilot Hi-Tecpoint Pens - The Fountain Pen Network
On a lark, I picked up an interesting PILOT pen. It's some kind of micro rollerball, probably equivalent to 0.3mm or 0.5mm. PILOT made these as a series of technical pens, as an alternative to using an nib fountain pen or a stylograph. PILOT discontinued the Hi-Tecpoint line, but they ...
