I really like the way a Cross or Montblanc rollerball pen writes - it is actually a significantly better writing experience than Dr. Grip or other inexpensive rollerball pens. However, the actual Montblanc or Cross refill writing cartridge only costs a few dollars, but the pen container costs over $100. Why isn’t there a pen container that costs maybe $10 and uses high quality refills a la Cross, so I don’t have to worry about losing a $100 + pen, and will still have a comparable writing experience?

Does anybody else have the same frustration?
