I carry one and it's a great travel companion. It's even reasonably pleasant to write with considering it's size and shape.

But it's a close call. What annoys me a little with my acridor is that the cap could be a little longer and with a firmer fit. Caran d'Ache got it right on the 844 mechanical pencil.

Pentel Sharp Kerry and Ohto Tasche are the two i want to put in my trouser pocket but they are both just a fraction too big, and more importantly, as you say, they are "too good for the job". Or rather too expensive.
