I don't see changing brass to plastic as an upgrade or improvement and as for the Jnr Gent2 the changes made it might as well be a different pen, I agree it is vastly better.
I hadn't mentioned names but since you do, it was Dayacom that swapped from brass to plastic or someone is using their labels.
Thanks for the history lesson but you ain't telling us anything we didn't know and mentioned many times before.
I am talking in general, I don't see any improvement for the price increases from any of them.
