Mont Blanc Lead Pencil?

[Two Time]

I am a university student looking to buy myself a nice pen for my birthday that I would have for many more years to come.

I realized that in school I am always using pencils and I do not really like to use pens because I can't erase.

I went to go look at Mont Blanc's lead pencils because my dad collects Mont Blanc pens and I love the way they feel. I did not realize that they would be the same price as the pen version, I thought they would be a little cheaper.

I was wondering what you guys think of Mont Blancs Lead pencils? Are they worth the price?

Usually people don't buy MB mechanical pencils. Unless they are Limited editions, they don't fetch good prices in 2nd hand markets.
In terms of mechanics, they are ok. I personally hate the twisting mechanism of MB pencils and would prefer the "pressing the top" approach better as the twisting mechanism requires 2 hands to get the lead out when the "pressing the top" method only requires one hand.

BTW, nothing beats the "Perfect Pencil" from Graf von Faber Castell. I really like it.
