I’m in love with G-2 .5 but made a mistake when I bought 5 boxes of G-2 pens last month. I ended up with .7 instead of .5. I’m okay with it but there are times when the fine tip is better.

I bounce back and forth between ultra fine and fine. I typically get happy with a .38 but eventually find that the tips plug up (based more on experience with Hi Tec C pens, my first pen love affair). The G2 is a great great pen but its nice to know that the Signo Gel is an equivalent.

I love the Uni-Ball Signo RT 0.38mm – you should try the lavender black ink if you are looking for something different.
