I'm a journalist. I write a lot. Right now I use a kaweco perkeo all black fountain pen. But I want to upgrade. I'm looking for a light weight no screw fountain pen in a higher price class. It has to be durable, can take a lot on ink, an edc and around the 100 dollar mark. What do you guys recommend?

I didn't suggest the VP simple because of price. Pilot bumped up prices this year by a huge amount taking it well out of the OP's $100 budget. They also wanted something that looks like a fountain pen. I like my VP well enough but one of my dislikes is that it really doesn't look like a fountain pen. Capacity can also be an issue if using the included converter.

Yeah, that's why I was thinking Majohn (and also why I asked if OP wanted more of a stealth FP or not). I like it for my work because it's less obvious, but definitely varies by use case and preference.
