Yeha, I've used various pen and washes before, not the Stadlers though. There's a lovely black felt tip pen that gives excellent wash effects. Waterman's black fountain pen ink also has separating colours when wet which is really interesting to play with. It's so fun to stumble across something cool like this, isn't it!
My greatest joy with the Pilot pens is that these are just the standard office supplies I always have lying around. No need to go out and buy a new thing.
I just tripped over the Staedtler because I had a previous art project where I wanted a brown pen for fine hair details and I bought multiple brands of pen in various tip sizes and shades of brown and sepia. So it's the only color I have from that brand, but I think brown (and black) would be my favorite color for this anyway.
