The whole reason I am looking at different pens is that there seems to be a pretty serious decline in quality of the Microns lately - the last batch I got leaked, and the last few batches seem to dry up faster. This is a pity, since they've been my go-to sketching pens for at least three decades...
I haven't seen the Unis in stores here in the US (they can be had on line, of course), but the Copics are pretty common, so I'll try those next (I too was disappointed with the Copic SP - it seemed like such a good idea to have something between a disposable and a real tech pen, but it ended up being the worst of both, instead of the best of both).
Thanks for the great comparison.
