Visconti Watermark vs Nakaya Naka-ai

So what do you guys think? The Visconti Watermark demo or the Nakaya Naka-ai? I'm planning my next attack. These are pretty much polar opposites but I like both of them. The Visconti is more of a knock your socks off look but the Nakaya has a smokey sexiness that I really like. I'm considering either in a stub. Going to need to save up for a couple months though. The Nakaya prices are pretty comparable with the Visconti on sale. Pretty sure I would like the Nakaya nib better than the Visconti palladium nib but I can always swap the palladium out for a 14kt Visconti nib in medium that I already know I really like.

I really like the watermark demo. It's on my hit list too. I would love a Nakaya too but if I was choosing between those two I'd go with the visconti.

I would be a fan of the Nakaya! Tremendous craftsmanship and artistry.

I should also note that, in the end, I'm going to get all of these pens it's just the order I need to sort out. The Visconti is on super sale so that's tempting. I literally just put in for a Montegrappa Espressione in blue a few minutes ago because it's painfully pretty and I got it for basically nothing. I've got a line on yet another Omas Paragon that is super sexy! Just need to hammer out a deal on that one. These pens. I swear. Super addicting. I guess it falls firmly in the "affordable luxury" segment.
