Not really the best place to lash out a ton of cash on the expensive metal - the trouble with forks is lateral stiffness, and if you use enough titanium to match a steel fork in stiffness, it ends up just as heavy. It will be stronger, but that just slightly extends the range of crashes you can have which don't destroy the fork. The big crashes above that range are going to be expensive enough without the extra cost of replacing a Ti fork, the little ones won't break a steel fork anyway.
