Ti screws will not be as strong as stock for sure. You can tell as they can be cut easily using a plier. But you'll have a very hard time trying to cut or bend the stock steel screws. The advantage is in weight over stock and stronger but heavier than alu ones. I also noted that stock serpent screws tend to rust....
Most RC manufacturers use lower grades of Ti, which is a shame. Higher grade (5 and up ) Ti is just as strong as steel.

About stock Serpent screws; lately some are of poor quality. Especially 4mm grub screws and some 3 and 4mm button head screws don't fit my Hudy allen tools...
(yes, I used the correct size )
