I would like to revise my initial view of the Visconti Mirage fountain pen - compared to my other pens it does feel lighter but having used it more and on better quality paper (!), I am adjusting to it and beginning to enjoy it without comparing it to other pens I own. It is a beautiful pen to look at and the writing experience is very smooth and easy. I think the paper I initially used was a little on the porous side which gave the impression of the nib writing more like a medium nib - on good quality paper it is ‘fine’.
