I've got Pentel EnerGel Alloy. They are heavier than a plastic Energel. They feel weightier in your hand, but I miss the silicone grip that the Uniball Impact, Signo 207, and Sharpie S-Gels have. I love my Uniball Signo 207 Premier, but I wish it were in metal and had a black silicone grip. If you're a Pilot fan, you can get the Pilot G2 Limited, but the Energel, Sharpie, and Uniball refill inks all can be used interchangably, where Pilot is fairly exclusive with their refill inserts. The Energel Alloy, Style (aka, Philography), and Sharpie Metal pens are all metal, have a nice heft, but only the Pilot G2 Limited and the sharpie metal, are metal pens that have silicone grips. The others are either smooth metal (Style/Philography), or have grip lines etched into it (Alloy). I hope that you find your perfect pen. Mine for now, is the Pentel Energel Alloy, with a Uniball Signo 207 Impact Blue refill @ 1.0mm.
Any other pen is about the same in color vibrancy smoothness etc. Permanent waterproof is the main reason for this version of this gel pen. Very handy incase of sweat accidents spills rain etc.

Its a shame they're not stupid proof.
