Love Platinum, they’re the only fountain pens I can even consider using, as they’re the only ones I found that can handle my low writing volume without drying out between uses.

Yep. As long as you cap it (like with any fountain pen for that matter), they won't dry. In that regard, they're among the best at any price range not kidding. But the plastic of the cap is a on the brittle side... which may ends up hindering the tightness of the capping as it won't sit as tight. Not hate here, that's only a maybe could happen (happened to me ;), they're great.
