FWIW, I have had 2 Mont Blanc Meisterstuck roller balls, and would be hesitant to buy a third. Perhaps I write like an ape, perhaps it was bad luck, but I had 2 pens break where the body of the pen meets the threads to access the ink cartridge. I am suspicious of the hardened plastic they use for the bodies of their pens. At a later time I was given a Waterman pen, and while it's not as prestigious as a Mont Blanc, the body is made of brass, and I have had no issues with its durability.
