Having ridden both, I would say go Ti. However, if price is a consideration, I think it is possible to get a nicer steel frame for the money than Ti, although Lynskey is really changing that industry dynamic. My garage has two Ti mtb's, a steel roadie, and a steel gravel bike. Only think I am missing is a Ti road disc bike (R240... want badly).

If I had the dough, it would be a moots I was after, for sure.
