I too have a Zurich (2000 model - red and white) and am considering going to ti (or maybe carbon or even a carbon/ti or aluminum) for some extra stiffness given that I am riding hills a lot more where I currently live. Like you, I am very happy with the Zurich and this would be a second bike rather than a replacement. Did you consider Serotta as well as Litespeed? The new Cannondale 6-13 looks interesting also (carbon-aluminum).
I considered a lot of things, but the only 2 bikes I wanted was a TI or Carbon and since I know Ti will be here long after I and Carbon I am uncertain about I choose Ti. The reason I picked Litespeed is reputation and ride quality and not to mention they are made about 70 miles from me. I was able to ride one 28 miles on one occasion and 50 on the other and just fell in love with it.
