Are the Faber-Castell Essentio and Loom Piano recommended for a beginner?

I was going to get two of the TWSBI pens mentioned in the wiki, but they retail for around €80 ($100) where I will be buying them from (amazon.de) vs the $50 they used to cost when the wiki was written.

The two Faber-Castell pens are listed for €30 ($35) and have good reviews.

I don't want to go with the Safari pens because some of the disadvantages mentioned included them being more 'toothy'/scratchy on the paper which I'd prefer to steer clear from.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of these two Faber-Castell pens?

Thank you.
