This review is a comparison between two entirely different products and is only intended to highlight the differences, from which the product quality can be improved.Left : Parker Classic Ball PenRight : Brustro Mechanical Pencil (0.7mm)Criterion for comparison: Weight, Feel, Price and Utility1. Weight: Parker (with refill removed) and Brustro both have almost same weight. It adds a sense of premiumness and stability to the product. Parker clearly is dominant in this aspect.2. Feel: Both are made of Metal but Brustro has polished feel while Parker has matte feel (it depends, i initially took it for unpolished). By looking and by holding them, both feel professional but the game changes when you click the pen. For Brustro, the reaction is smooth, click sound is satisfying and the pushback is gentle. Where as for Parker, the premiumness fades into dust when the pen is clicked. It makes cracking sound, button needs to be pressed all the for it to toggle. This is where Parker loses its shine and value for me3. Price: Brustro costs 170 while Parker costs 330, almost double the price. I don't see any good reasons for such a price difference (apart from the brand name of Parker). This clearly is the area where Parker (or any Competitor) should work on. Sure Pencil and Pen may have different mechanisms, but that wouldn't contribute to such a margin. Should it ? I think Brustro has won here by a great margin.4. Utility: One of the main and final aspect to contest. Brustro is pencil with entirely different use case but it fits my use perfectly well. i.e., writing for long, re-usability and compatibility. Parker is a premium pen whose use case is a luxury device rather than a vehicle offering direct utility.Conclusion: Parker although is a great brand, it's offering in this context is way inferior to the cheaper pencil alternative. The product can be improved further to make it a satisfying buy but currently I regret buying it. If the click action and response were to be improved, i would gladly pay the price (and even stock it for the next decade or so).

wow! as expected
