Ti will certainly reduce the amount of flex in the servo mounts up front
I got lucky and found a .090" grade 5 titanium plate on ebay in the US and had it sent to Europe. That was around $75. Machining work was done by a friend so it didn't really cost anything (this time - I'm sure next time he'll send me a huuuuuge bill :) ).

My hope was that Ti makes the G2R plates bulletproof and that they stiffen up the truck. From what I see and feel they do both pretty well.
