PS
The one downside, other than cost, is that while the Ti obviously does not rust, it does develop a light patina that is not perfectly even unless you polish it. So what.
I think passivated or polished stainless would likely have a very slight cosmetic edge in this regard over the Ti.
Since the stainless is a bit softer than steel or Ti, it may loose some of its cosmetic edge if the corners get rounded by cheap or ill-fitting sockets.
One other thing- the TiKore folks do beautiful work, but their security bolt is still a few grams different in weight than the regular ones, regardless of their assurances to the contrary. Not enough to impact wheel balance, but at that price expectations are set pretty close to perfection...
