Titanium question

I got a titanium seat mast for my Bike Friday and was pleasantly surprised by how much it absorbed bumps and such (not the reason I initially bought it). So now I am wondering if anyone has a titanium steerer mast on their small bike and whether you find the same cushioning capability translates to the handlebars? It's not an inexpensive upgrade but would be worth it to me if it cut the vibrations way down. It's probably about the same price as a titanium handlebar but I actually have a bar I love that weighs less than many titanium ones do, so don't want to change it out. My steerer mast, otoh, is steel so it's heavy. Anyone using one on any bike?
