I've not used the Fons and Porter so can't compare but I have the Sewline and love it! You can buy the lead and get a cheap mechanical pencil from Wal-Mart (just be sure you get the right size for the lead). That way you can afford a pencil for each color of lead that you want.

I have only used the sewline pencils, and I use them all the time! I use the pink, white and black lead, but now I think I'll make a trip to Wal-Mart and order the green lead. Thanks for the idea!!

You are welcome. I got the idea from someone else here. That's what I love about this board - we learn so much from each other.
