@Surasanji well they each serve slightly different purposes. The motishaw-pilot is very very soft. Almost to teh point it is like a paintbrush (not quite but close). So when doing spencerianand ONLY spencerian it is much more comfortable.

The other is stiffer so when you want to flex you need to put a bit more pressure into it. Over time if you are writing a lot this can get very tiring. So for spencerian it is a little less ideal.

However if i am writing in any form that doesnt require flex, for example trying to print very quickly or just speed-writing cursive with no flex, then the franken pen is the clear winner. It is very fine tipped but jsut firm enough to be able to be used in that way, and just soft enough to make for good flex.

All in all the franken pen is superior as a multipurpose pen and the custom-pilot better for flex writing.
