Which differences exist between Montblanc Classique and LeGrand rollerball refills, and which rollerball is better suited for heavy writers?

Montblanc Montblanc — general FAQ entry

The Classique rollerball refills contain a liquid ink filling and hold more ink than the LeGrand refills, in which the ink soaks a sponge; own investigations, however, show that a sponge can also be fitted in the Classique refill. Criticism in collector forums refers predominantly to the shorter range of the LeGrand refills. Both models count basically as usable; the practical difference lies above all in the frequency of refill change. For final decision a trial grip in specialist trade is recommended, since the LeGrand is generally described as more pleasant in the hand.
