I would say if you have the extra money to spend then buy them, because you will never bend or break a lunsford titanium hinge pin, turnbuckle, or strip a titanium screw. Even if you do, Lunsford has a lifetime warranty on all their stuff.
Actually, if you are comparing 2 scews or any 2 parts that are identical in every aspect of size, with the only difference being the material they are made from the Titanium one will be heavier 100% of the time!!
While Ti is stronger than Aluminum it is also heavier. Ti becomes lighter than Aluminum when you use Ti's strength to your advantage. For example, a 4mm aluminum chassis is the same strenght as a 3mm Ti chassis, but since you used less material with the 3mm TI chassis, it also weighs less than the 4mm Aluminum.
Make sense?
