titanium frames don't last any longer than any other frame. they seem to be prone to cracking just as much if not more so than steel. and just because it's an expensive material doesn't mean it will turn into a good handling/riding bike.
for the price of a mid-low quality ti frame that's likely to be plain gauge i would rather have a premium triple/double butted steel frame. not forgetting it's easier to repair a steel frame.
wouldn't mind a high end butted ti frame but they are twice the price which would fund top end steel and some uber bling wheels negating any weight saving of the frame material.
ti is old hat 953 is where the smart money is.
