you can get a pilot penmanship (which has an EF nib) for around $10, and put that nib into your prera. That's your best bet.

You can swap out the nibs on the Pilot Metropolitan too, for about the same price -- though I haven't seen anywhere to get a broad nib.
Then you get a "free" pen with the purchase of your EF/Stub nib, though I don't actually use any of my Penmanship/Plumix pen-bodies.

I also have a Tombow mechanical pencil, a Montblanc ballpoint, and a metallic gold G2. It's a good fist-full, and a little too bulky for my preferences. BUT I LOVE THEM
For the price, the Pilot Ergo demonstrator is an awesome pen and the EF nib is truly EF. I've even seen some people on here transfer that nib into other pens. I converted my Ergos into eyedroppers pretty easily with just silicone grease and the ink looks fantastic in them. I haven't had any leaking problems yet and they've been in action for about a month now. Despite being so fine, I haven't had any issues with them drying up too quickly either. The only thing I don't like so much about them is that they don't show off ink subtleties as well on paper since the line they lay down is so fine. I don't think they come with anything other than that EF Penmanship nib.
I also really love my TWSBI Diamond, and I have heard great things about the Eco so I'll probably pick one up sometime soon.
Haha is that a thinkpad charger in the background?
just in case you don't know you can get an EF off amazon for $6
So I’ve been using the pen called Pilot Fountain Pen with Ergo grip. I couldn’t find the official name, but unfortunately it has evaded me. Here’s an Amazon link
So far, this is the finest line pen I’ve ever used. Really thinner than a strand of hair.
That was my first one too
Edit: I'll add a couple of mine

I'm about to screw you over even further. Pilot Plumix and Penmanship have nibs that are compatible with Metros. Just pull the feed unit, change the nib (the metal part) and you're good to go. My Metro is now a calligraphy pen with line variations and shit.
Pilot, uh... "Fountain Pen with Ergo Grip" with EF nib and black ink.
Does this thing have a real name?
It's a Pilot, I can't find any sort of model name. It's got an extremely fine point. I like fine lines, but I don't use this one much because the other two are so much nicer to use.

Platinum Preppy in either Extra Fine or Fine.
Pilot Kakuno in Fine.
Or Pilot Penmanship in Extra Fine.
All cheap pens that will write pretty fine to match your current pen. You will be at the mercy of your paper and the ink though. Pens will come with cartridges but be prepared to buy more carts or bottle ink and a syringe/converter.
I'll go with everyone else here and say the Pilot Metropolitan, which is just a classic. I love Pilot fountain pens. They have nice, even, fine and extra fine lines and are economical everyday pens. I prefer the way they work with the way I write to my more expensive LAMYs and Faber-Castell Pens.
I will also recommend the Pilot Kakuno, which is a plastic, hexagonal barrel beginner pen (I think it's actually intended for schoolchildren).
I also like [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Fountain-Extra-Clear-PFP50RNCEF/dp/B006CQUI9O/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_3?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1510627790&sr=1-3-fkmr2&keywords=cheap+pilot+fountain+pen) just cause I think it's a kind of cool little demonstrator. You can get right into using these with a CON-50 converter or you can use the Pilot IC-100 Namiki cartridges (which I actually prefer at work because they're a little easier to pop in and out).
I'm not a vast array of pen experience but IMO
It's not the cheapest, but I feel the pilot prera is very underrated. I have it in F and EF, it's a great work horse and its compact size is great for travel but it posts to pretty much a full size pen for a comfortable writing experience.
Pilot also has this

It's the same nib as the metro and Prera but in a much cheaper body. I got one after a co worker bent my Prera nib and wanted to switch to EF. It's a
I've also recently received a Lamy Al Star and based on reviews it's the same as the safari, just in aluminum. I know the safari is a reasonable price and the ability to swap out nibs is pretty quick and easy.
