This pen looks like it would really like to have a 14K nib. 
 

Unfortunately Lamy doesn’t make this specific one in gold.

 

What makes you say that?  The nib looks standard and would appear to be interchangeable with the Z55 gold nib.   Has Lamy indicated that the Z55 won't fit?  That would surprise me.

The 14k ones they make have the straight-tined shape, not the duck-bill the Ideos shares with the Aion (which imo looks far nicer on those pens).

Maybe Lamy will produce the nib for the Ideos in the future if they find that it will be a demand for them.

Oh, I see now.  It looks like I'll have to have the prescription for my glasses looked at.

Well, an interesting product. Definitely not a bad pen whatsoever, though I got the feeling, that there is a remarkable overlap with Studio and Aion.

The Lamy Ideos is more expensive that the Studio and the Aion. I don't know if there is an overlap in size or materials .😏

I like the CP-1 and the Ideos looks like a slightly girth'ier version.  I can understand the concern with the slick metal grip section but I haven't personally had issue with them.  As a Lamy fan, I may well give this pen a shot.  I have liked all their pens except the Aion.

I found one, got it and like it.  I did a review here:

Similar to the Scala with a higher price tag. IMO, the Scala is better in look and feel.

Wonder how many design meetings were needed for this ground breaking design?

To me anything that is smooth at the grip is a put off. Therefore i love the CP1, Logo  and recently the Lamy  Pur . Even the Studio  has found favour with me with  the matt ( I believe its the All Black that I have) due to the grip section being more " holdable" rather than skiddy when i write.  That's why I hate most of the chinese pens too that have a tapery size reducing grip🤨
