$300 at amazon.ca - what to buy? (self.fountainpens)

Let's say that over the past year I've accumulated $300 in gift cards for Amazon Canada from my in-laws - what fountain pen(s) would you recommend I buy? I find Amazon's fountain pen selection lacking, so I'm hoping there are some hidden gems I'm unaware of. Thanks!

I would say you can't go wrong picking up a Majohn A2 if you like novelty (and/or practicality), and a couple of Pilot Parallels if you like calligraphy. Both should be readily available and neither is terribly expensive. For $300 CAD you could probably get a Majohn and most of if not the entire selection of widths of the Parallel.

I already have a couple Parallels, but now I can easily pick up the rest. Thanks!
