Agreed. I have used plenty of fairly thick (and heavy) aluminum stakes and frequently had to bend them back into reasonable shape at the end of a trip. OTOH, the thin and very light Ti stakes I've been using for the last few years stay nice and straight. The only issue I've had with them is that they are so thin that they lack holding power in loose soil or sandy ground so sometimes I have to reinforce them with rocks on top
