You guys forget that one of the attributes of Titanium is it's high Modulus of Elasticity and it's durability. Ti frames (if cared for) will outlast any steel or definately any Aluminum frame. Ti frames can be twice as expensive as similar frames of steel or alum. An old addage is, "when you buy ti, you buy no more" Ti frames are sweet, and strong. If you can get a deal on the bike, get it! Upgrade the components later.
BTW, what is he asking?
