Yep understand all of that. Ti rods are still a development thing for us and not a high priority tbh. Super cool but for our market would be a minimal seller. Been testing some shorter 121.5mm items in a decent HP endurance application for a while but like you say the variations in new available alloys, the costings in repeat testing vs the potential return in sales has withered this out a bit. Also real world testing to failure is a hard and expensive thing. Leave this for the big players I think will be head honchos thoughts.
