Welcome to the titanium club!

Honestly the design and quality of construction are more important than material in terms of frame properties. Because titanium is much more expensive as a raw material and very difficult to weld, titanium frames tend to be well designed and properly built compared to many booger-welded steel and aluminum bikes out there.

But I agree on the observations regarding ease of damage inspection compared to carbon fiber.

Fyi there's no reason you can't paint titanium, but because of titanium's oxide layer being so impervious to further corrosion, most people prefer the raw metal finish.
