Windows 10: Surface Pro 6 pen. Does it matter which one I get?

Really in need for a pen to do some photoshop work with my new Surface Pro 6. I was wondering if I should use a the pen (the one that came with the SP4), instead of paying $130 CAD for a simple plastic pen. But the thing is will the older pen support tilt and will it have the same response time as the new one?


Thanks.

Surface Pro 4 Pen will not write on screen


My Surface Pro 4 Pen which I got with Surface Pro 4 has stopped writing. I can connect pen with Surface Pro 4 and and all works except I cannot write on screen.
I suspect it is the tip of pen that does not work but cannot verify this.
Please note tip is not broken.
Before I purchase a tip kit can someone suggest what I can try to see if it is the tip or something else that is faulty.
My surface Pro 4 is up to date with all updates including BIOS updates. I use a Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
Thank you.
