I agree hard tips are good for fine detail
Just recently I have made a concious descision to bite the bullet and pencil a lot more digitally - this means a very soft and gentle response from the pen in order to build up the lines [see my current avatar] and a felt tip has the tooth/drag/inertia call it what you will, that facilitates this
but that aside hard tips have always been too 'fast' for me, even for inking
looks like this one is nearly done
