Magnesium frame over titanium?

I want to order a custom titanium frame. After riding steel, alum, ti, and carbon, I like the ride titanium has. It has better road absorption than aluminum and in my opinion, rides better than carbon. I don't like the feel of a carbon bike. Plus I like the durability of Ti.

I understand you get get a custom frame in magnesium. The one site I visited said magnesium frames are 1/2 the weight of Ti. and better road absorption of vibrations than, alum, Ti, and carbon, though it did say it was not as durable as Ti. The mix in a magnesium frame is Mg, Alum, and zinc.

Anyone have any more info on a magnesium frame, or mag compared to Ti?
