I would say that the dentability of thin walled stainless steel tubing and oversized Ti tubing would be very similar. One might resist a ball bearing dropped from 3m the other 3.1m, feck knows, does'nt seem worth worring about.
Both materials will presumebly last donkeys years, as they wont rust or become brittle.
Both materials will build lightish frames.
The costs of the relatively exclusive stainless steel tubesets against the increasingly common Ti puts them at similar price ranges.
The only reason I can see to choose one over the other is ride quality.
