My winter bike is custom ti. Hand brushed finish. So most scratches buff out with a brilo pad. I only went custom because I wanted a fatbike with specific handling.
For summer nothing beats carbon for me. Plus as I fit nicely on several OTP framesets (not most though tbh). I wouldn't spend out for custom.
Depends on whether you want longevity and winter use. And whether you feel you need custom features I guess.
I'm forever dropping shit on my toptube. Multitools etc. The ti doesn't show this. The carbon has a handful of paint chips and scratches. I should just leave my turbo trainer bike thong in place.
