I’m saving up for my first gold nib, and wanted to know: how significantly does the writing quality/feel of the steel nib differ from the gold nib from the same manufacturer?

I’ve amassed a collection of starter pens and wondered how the “feel” translates to their higher end models. Is it fair to extrapolate the experience of entry level pens to their higher end models? For example, if I like my Metropolitan more than my Vista, would it be better to get the Custom 92 than the 2k?

Hoping I can tap into the collective wisdom of the hive mind!
