The only Visconti I have is the Breeze in Lemon yellow with a medium nib. I picked it up pre-owned for an amazing deal at $15. It's a color I wouldn't normally have chosen, but I couldnt pass it up, and it's a very nice writer. Soft pencil-like feedback and wet.
The Homo Sapiens has always interested me, but I’ve never had a good long-term experience out of a vacuum filler. I always end up with ink creeping through the rear rod seal onto the piston rod and into the piston/vacuum knob. The HS is absolutely iconic, though.
I have a few Visconti Rembrandt and Van Gogh pens but I would buy the Homo Sapien again and again. Even at 4X the price. They are all good pens for sure. The broad nibs that Visconti has do a nice job for shading inks as well.
My only experience is with a Mirage Mythos Zeus. It kind of figures I'd go for a pen with that name!! It writes as well as any other pens in my collection, and I've never ran into problems with it.
I have only one Visconti fountain pen. It is the Divinia. It has a 14K Medium nib with a feed that matches the pen body. It came in a beautiful wood case. I never inked it. Now it needs maintenance as the grease on the piston has solidified, strangely. I have no idea how to maintain it.
I have a Visconti Mirage Mythos Apollo with a German made stainless steel nib.
It writes very well.

It's very yellow, but I love this lemon breeze.

I always worry about working on piston pens. I’m often too heavy handed when repairing things.
