@dancing james
there are many Ti builders who will make such assertions
as i understand it the cost of butting tubes is very high
Serotta offer double or triple butted framesets and the prices escalate accordingly
my Serotta is double butted, my Mather is plain guage
Mather is probably a tad heavier, but is stiffer around the BB
in reality does it make any difference to me? probably not
so probably look to spend money on a good fit over the extra pennies on butting
but if you really want the best and most bespoke frame then the builders who can and will butt tubes and design the profile to your needs will be making the nicest most dialled in frames for the individual rider
