I had a Mont Blanc, but from the day I bought it, it never seemed to write right--ha ha...but anyway I think it had something to do with the nib. The ink would kind of "skip" as you wrote, so I sent it back to the company (turns out Mont Blanc USA's headquarters are 50 miles away in Bethlehem, PA) and they told me they'd replace the nip for $130, but I bought the pen for $250, so it really cost more to fix it that it was worth, so I never had it fixed.
But I'll admit Mont Blanc makes some awesome pens!
