Seems a lot of extra money for upgraded needle bearings.
Especially as the axle dimensions are the same, which means only the materials can be different.
I was just pricing some DIY pedals: rather than buying complete cro-mo pedals and replacing the axles, I was thinking of just buying the bodies and axles separately.
But the bodies don't include the cartridge bearings and Sigma are still selling pedals (c/w cleats) for £100, so there's nothing to be gained.

The resin and bow ties seem to be common. I suspect the difference is solely the in-board needle bearings-- I recall statements that SP spec'd something else for the Ti given the flexibility of the axle.
Why a new body kit? Sure the axle is still good? Or maybe just in need of new needle bearings-- a lot of people do hack their pedals with new bearings.
