No, I did not spend $30 to save .4 oz. This was not even the consideration. I wanted a titanium set, not aluminum, mainly because titanium is much harder and stronger - thus more durable - than aluminum.
For comparison, the cheapest I could find the mini-Trangia with the aluminum cookset (through REI) was $29.95, the sporks are $8.95 x 2 + sales tax = $51.92 + $8.99 S/H = $60.91. My cost for the mini-Trangia ($15.60) and titanium cookset ($30.36) and sporks ($14.32) = $60.28.
In the end, I actually saved a little bit!
