I too love the Pelikans! I have a Souveran M605, blue with silver trim. It's got the same fancy 14K nib, but the rest of the pen is more of a workhorse than the rest of the Souveran line. I have to disagree with you on the ink, though: I got a bottle of Noodler's Bernanke Black, and it's turned my pen from a once-in-a-while to a daily driver. The Bernanke Black dries incredibly quickly, so much so that I can write on one page, turn it, and write on the flip side with no smudging.

I thought that India ink wasn't good for fountain pens, what with them being pigment-based... you should google that. I'd hate to see that nice pen get wrecked by ink that shouldn't be used in a dunker.
