Agreed - I think that some people ascribe ethereal quality to material itself, which may be proportional to the money they spent.
Of course, Ti will have a limited advantage in weight reduction of frame over steel, all else being close to equal but as I have mentioned elsewhere, it’s easier and way cheaper to drop a pound from one’s own weight.
