Personally I would buy a cocker, but then I did. People will tell you good and bad about all markers and everyone has there own favorite at the end of the day its down to you and which marker you like the feel of or look of (bollox to anyone who says they didn't buy a marker cos it looks good). At the end of the day the only advice I can offer is remember you get what you pay for, you buy a cheap marker you get a cheap marker.
