my collection of MBs is mainly centered on the Rose Gold and gold limited editions of 1999 which all came with a tiny diamond at the top, 3 different sizes and they come in fountain pen, ball point, roller ball and propelling pencil. i use the same pen as you for a daily user and agree about the "fatties"!
