What Are Some Pens Beyond 'Next Level'? - Q&A Slices

What's the next level? After stepping up from the Metropolitan/Al-Star to the Vanishing Point/Lamy 2000, which pens are the next step from these?

there's a law of diminishing returns here, for sure
once you hit gold nibs, you really get into a lot of fancy options
pens with gold nibs pretty much plateau in terms of how they write, so it's other aspects of the pen that impact its price
fancier/precious materials, unique filling mechanisms, enhanced build quality, nicer plating on trim (platinum instead of rhodium, higher grade of gold, etc), more design/artistry, LE, nicer presentation
you quick jump up into the $500-800 range
Visconti Homo Sapiens/Opera/Divina, Aurora Optima/88, Montegrappa Copper Mule/Passione, Pelikan Souvrän m400/600/800/1000, Montblanc 146/149, Namiki Nippon Art/Yukari, Graf von Faber-Castell Classic/Tamitio/Anello, Caran d'Ache, Delta DolceVita, Stipula Etruria, Parker DuoFold, Waterman Carene
there are many more besides these, of course!
