I have used prismas - though I haven't tried the new ones with the brush tip. I gave up using Prismas years ago in favor of Trias (for greater blendability and a wider range of colors), which I later gave up for Copics (even greater blendability, widest range of colors, brush tip on the sketch markers, and a naming/numbering scheme that actually makes sense XD) The only downside to the copics in my opinion, is the cost - but the fact that they are refillable saves a lot over time, and I just buy colors now and then to add to my collection, since I can't afford the whole set in one go.
Its $6 a refill (but the refill will fill the marker up at least 10 times - I haven't run out of a refill yet. You will probably find yourself replacing a marker nib before replacing a refill) I do the refilling myself, the refill is squeezable and has a dropper tip, so I just drip on the nib and it absorbs. There is also a tool you can buy to make refilling easier and it has a reservoir you pour the ink into, and it runs down a needle directly into the marker. Its called a refill booster and runs $2.25.
I buy my refills from copicmarkers.com - or I buy them at our local Blick's when they go on sale, but they don't have all the colors.

Thats pretty cool. Im kinda getting tired of my Prismas drying out after about 30 minutes of use at 4 bucks a marker. :/ Like I said, Ive always liked the 'watercolor' look of Copics...they may cost a little more but if I can refill them for less than half the cost of a new marker....Im on it. Thanks for the advice :)
