I’d just add that if going down the ti route I can’t see why you would get the frame painted. One of the best aspects of a raw ti frame is that, like mine, it will look the same 15 years on.
I have a ti (Van Nicholas) and a carbon (Cervelo). I love them both but they do slightly different things - multi-day credit card vs fast day rides respectively. Not sure I could manage if I had to choose but I guess the ti would win out as it’s more versatile, less maintenance and has the air of indistructability.
