I don't disagree with those saying that there are much stronger steels than there are titanium alloys, but consider the original intent of the OP. What is being sought is a corrosion-resistant but not plated or coated fastener. So the discussion really has to be limited to titanium alloys and stainless steels that are both readily available in metric machine screws of the types used on stems. If I go to the local hardware store and buy the stainless steel screws I need, will they be as strong as what biketanium is offering? But more importantly will they be strong enough so that the comparison to biketanium's product doesn't matter? I'm sure some of our engineer participants can calculate the tensile strength needed for a stem bolt at recommended maximum torques of about 6 Nm including a normal margin of safety. What say you? Is the difference between what biketanium is offering and the readily available SS product inconsequential?
