Theoretically, I could, someday, end up with $250 to spend on something like this. But I don't actually LIKE the Lagrima de Luna.
None of the Squirts do anything for me. The Del Ray is nice -- but it's stupid to do in gold. If that design was in polished brass, and the price was, say, under $200 (the regular Charge is under $150, usually around $120 or so), that'd be worth it. But a gold version just doesn't look any better than the brass would.
The Espeja is pretty, but, again, polished mirror silver is silly. Mirror finish polished chrome would be the way to do it. The Del Ray and Espaja are both pretty in their way, but don't show off the precious metal, and can be done better with more wear-resistant, stronger, and cheaper materials.
