Wow -will have to disagree with almost all of above.
Hey, I like Ti frames, but what you state above simply isn't true. Obviously the "value" statement is a joke. What about "low maintenance", "confidence" and "construction"? I mean, what kind of maintenance do you do on a carbon frame?
Frame material really means next to nothing when it comes to ride and handling. All else being equal ...... wheelsets, tires, and the diameter of the frame tubes mean much, much, much more.
