I’d have a good look at the Pilot Plumix first though: the nib is a little better but the rather more eccentric style may not be for everyone. It should never be anyone’s first pen, an italic nib is likely to put a new fountain pen user off, but it’s worth considering if you want to dip your toes into something different.
