I bought the TWISBI ECO on a lark. I was hesitant because I already had the GO and the ECO was just more expensive.
Well boy-howdy is the ECO not only leagues better than the GO, but I much prefer to all my other pens.
Folks recommend the really cheap platinum preppy pens, but be warned they are super scratchy. I would go a size up from what you normally prefer wrt to nib (if you are new, try M as F and EF are extremely scratchy IMHO).
The opposite is true about the TWISBI in my experience. Go a size down. Their F nibs write quite fat.
Then again, I mostly write on cheap paper so this advice def doesn't apply to e.g. Rhodia pads.
Finally, I don't love the metropolitan. Feels great in the hand but I always find myself reaching for the smooth writing I get from my Eco.
