Firewall! SS or Titanium?

Starting to stockpile and scrounge for metals for my Hummel H5 build this winter (Build thread will be started when I actually get going! :) ) and am thinking of titanium for the firewall instead of SS. Price isn't that bad from what I can see for the size I need (firewall is pretty small on the H5) but am wondering if there is any good reason, besides maybe a few ounces in weight) of going with the titanium FW? Never used it before so wondering how hard it is to work with, bend tabs on, etc... I know for sure I don't want galvanized! My 750 has it and I regret using it. Knowing what I know now I would have went with a custom made SS on my 750! :ermm:

Anyhoo, anybody who has $0.02 to throw in, or has worked with Ti before, be great to get any advice!

Cheers

Mark
