I just got the latest Fahrney's Pens catalog (Fall 2009), and the new Lamy pen is on the cover!
The Dialog 3 has the the 14k nib, and it retracts into the barrel! The clip also retracts opposite the nib (I have the Swift model RB that does the same thing- it ensures the nib/point is in the pen when you clip it to your shirt).
The drawback is the price! Fahrney's is selling it at $240! (MSRP is $300) You can buy two Studios at that price, and still have the 14k nib!

Just a quick note that the Lamy Dialog 3 has proven extremely popular (and it still isnt available yet!). We are now taking more pre-orders for next year.
