Like easyupbug, I'm not a fan of the styling of the sloping top tube. All of my bikes are traditional diamond shape.

I've owned a 96 Litespeed Classic since late 95 (no, not a typo), and a 97 Ultimate since last year. The old Litespeeds are beautiful craftsmanship. A decently cared for Titanium frame is pretty much forever - why not pick up a used one and set it up with modern kit. My Classic is running its original stem/seatpost with 11 speed Chorus and Zonda wheels, and the Ultimate has 11 speed Centaur/Shamals and a quill to ahead adapter for modern handlebars.
