Yeah, the price is what it is once you've committed to Ti, and while I think one of the hardenable stainless steels would be better, they're neither cheaper nor easier to machine. At least with Ti you don't have all the extra problems associated with heat treating a piece which has had 3/4 of it's stock volume milled away 😐
