I'm up to 5 Maxis now. Call me biased.

I've had two maxis, and now have one. I really like it, but I'm not crazy about the color combos they've got out, so I'm not really attracted to the others I've seen. If they come up with fluorescent purple and navy blue -- I'm in (but not if it's got gold trim).

Oooo! Purple would be AWESOME. Agree, the silver trim is the business.

I saw a Dupont today that reminded me of this post..I didn't get the name of it (a certain national chain keeps them behind locked glass and aren't exackly customer-friendly when it comes to the spendy pens, apparently)...but it's a pretty incredible finish. I'll have to find a link...

IMO Diamine ink is Not as saturated as PR or Noodlers ink. I find that Diamine ink has a vintage ink quality to it. It flows very nice but it is NOT AS free flowing as Noodlers or PR. I even go to the extent and say that on average, Diamine Ink is a bit on the drier side compared to Noodlers and Private Reserve. Dont get me wrong, I do not think Diamine is bone dry ink but out of all of my ink in my collection, I find it to be drier than I what I am used to. I think Parker Quink is faster flowing than Diamine BUT this is in my very limited experience. I like this modern ink because it flows so nicely through all of my vintage pens, kind of like quink and skrip. My vintage pens really do not like most modern saturated inks but Diamine works quite nice. This is really of topic isnt it??? Anyways that is the reason I put it on the list towards the bottom as more dry than the above inks.

 

At the top of the list, I should of added Noodlers Aircorp Blue/black. That is a fast flowing ink that is nice and saturated. I find it to be very lubercating.

This post expresses my experience of Diamine very well.
