It's like the joke about Astronauts and Cosmonauts.

When NASA started conducting experiments in Null gravity they came across a problem with ball point and fountain pens not working because there was nothing to draw the ink out and on to the surface of whatever you were writing on, so NASA designed a pen that could write in null gravity, upside down, under water and costs thousands of dollars.

When confronted with the same problem, the Russian Cosmonauts all started using pencils.
As far as cost efficiency goes the pencil is much better. That thousand-dollar pen sounds much more cool to me though!
