Still working through fountain pens trying to find the finest of the extra fine w/o custom grinding. I think I've reached a satisfactory conclusion for now.
Platinum Century 3776 UEF wins by a (very thin and costly) hair but the Kakuno EF is not that far behind. The Jinhao EF#08 is decent but a tad thicker. All of them are better than the Platinum EF02 which is significantly thicker.
tl;dr: 3776UEF is best but expensive, Kakuno EF has best price/perf @ ~1/20th the cost.
