In my experience, no material is significantly better than any other in any way that cannot be countered or enhanced by design and construction. I have ridden steel bikes that felt like an oak log, and aluminum bikes that felt like a wet noodle. I have ridden a few ti bikes and they all felt pretty good, but none of them were a truly 'cheap' ti frame, and the expensive steel and aluminum bikes I have ridden all felt pretty good, too.
