--> I have one with a cap, however I use it without the cap attached so I
have the eraser (nice) available.

--> Compared to what? Actually, neither, balanced and just right. 8-)

> Does it feel comfortable, or like cheap plastic?
--> Comfortable, just like regular Cross pens.

> How does it look, nice and profesional, or something a bum would have?
--> Professional.

--> Really? 8-)

> If it's heavier, does it feel like you get better precision?
--> Weight comparisons would depend on what pen you're currently using.
They vary from brand-to-brand, including one which is triangular. I
seriously doubt the pen itself adds to precision, though perhaps the "feel"
might give a person a perception of more accuracy.

--> Nope, same digitizer behind the screen, same results.

> How do you recomend storing it?
--> At least you won't have a cap to lose. I make sure either I've attached
the cap to a shirt or pants pocket before I use the pen, that way the odds
are I won't lose it. Storing? You don't store it, since it is too large to
keep within the Tablet's provided area. Depends, I suppose on your own
habits with a pen, your normal usage location and if you've got a slate or
convertible model Tablet.
