Hey,

We've recently been discussing the capless clones. Doodlebud just made a video comparing the real deal with the clones.

Yeah, there's no real need to get the jinhao if you have the a1 IMHO.

I don't like the style of the A3 personally.

There's also the A2, which is a slight revision of the A1 using a plastic barrell.

The A2 mimics the faceted art deco style of the vintage Pilot Capless. The A1 has the syling of the newer Vanishing Point, although insofar as I can tell they both use the same mechanism.
