I owned a Bianchi Ti Mega Tube in the late '90s, replacing a Lemond Zurich (853). It was okay, but I quickly fell out of love with it, and traded the frame for a set of wheels. I never bought another Ti bike, nor do I have any lust for one. However, I wish I still had the Zurich. My favorite bikes have all been CF.
