I got a lamy Vista demonstrator and a bottle of [[Black Swan in Australian Roses]] for a relative. I tested it for an afternoon, to make sure it wasn't a dud.
It wrote like a dream on every notebook we had at the office.

Is it this one? http://smile.amazon.com/Vista-Fountain-Demonstrator-Clear-L12F/dp/B0002T405A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453866029&sr=8-1&keywords=lamy+vista

Be careful as people have been posting about untrustworthy merchants selling fake Lamy Safari/Vistas on Amazon. While the pen itself has a high review the merchant that is selling it has zero reviews whatsoever, which is a major red flag.

Here's a post about it: http://officesupplygeek.com/osg-news-from-the-web/counterfeit-lamy-safari-psa/ There are many more if you search Reddit/FPN/etc.

Headphones: Audio Technica ATH-M50x — Nothing too special. Wish I knew about open-backed headphones back when I bought them.

Keyboard: Pok3r white w/ Cherry MX Browns with thick blank keycaps by GeekKeys — Really enjoying this, and a lot quiter than my previous keyboard.

Pen: Lamy Safari Clear Demonstrator with fine nib — Again, nothing too special. Gonna replace it with a Namiki Falcon at some point.

Watch: Void V01 MkI, sadly no longer available.

I don't own many pens, but I'll try and help

<20 - Jinhao X750 (I own this one and it's real cheap and easy), I would also recommend looking at this list by /u/DontFuckWithMyMoney, a lot of people also recommend the Kakuno or Metropolitan made by Pilot

20-50 - Lamy Safari/Vista (A lot of people don't like the design, but I love this pen. Not a fan of the Al-Star though), Noodler's Ahab (Nice pen that you get to play around with), Kaweco Sport, and TWSBI 580 (I haven't used the last two, but I like their look)

*50-100 - Waterman Hemisphere (A bit small, but really good pen), and the Pilot Custom 74 (Don't own it, but I've heard good things and it's $85 on Engeika)

*Note, around here it's things that I don't own, but have heard good things about

100-200 - Pilot CH92 on Engeika, Sailor 1911, and the Lamy 2000.

200-500 - Pelikan M400/600 (I believe it's a size difference?), Sailor Pro Gear, Custom 823

500+ - I really like the look of the pens made by Nakaya. Maybe a rare vintage flex pen.

Vintage pens - My favorite pen I own is the "51", but I'm looking to get an Eversharp Skyline and a Vacumatic.

*Best Designs - I like demonstrator pens (CH92), the Al Sport, Nakayas (milky way, their normal cigar shaped ones), my Parker "51", and the Lamy 2000.

Pens are really subjective though, so opinions will differ between different people. I personally like my pens to be smooth and decently wet if that helps anybody looking at this. But honestly, I think that just exploring fountain pens was a fun experience and people shouldn't take these lists as a strict guide.

EDIT: Adding links and added Al sport to best design

EDIT 2: I also really like the Murex

That's a very good choice and a great pen. I would add a couple more to your list: 1, 2, 3, and on the more expensive side, 1 and 2.

But! If you just want to tread the waters, maybe look into this or this. They're both cheap so you're not far down cash if you don't like it. They're also both pens that I carry around with me everyday because I really like how they write.
