Hongian pens to try? (self.fountainpens)

I have a Hongdian Black Forest EF and I love the EF nib in particular. I find the Black Forest a little too slender in my hand to be comfortable for long writing sessions, so I’m wondering what other Hongdian pens (with an EF nib) people would recommend I try?

Just a butt-in here, thanks for the tip. I'm looking for slender pens, as most are to bulky for my hands.

Pilot Cavalier is the way to go. The fountain pen version is a little girthier than the gel pen version, but mines still felt closer to a thicker Bic ballpoint than the common fountain pen widths.
