Funny, I was thinking the same thing when I used a Wong and then tried a Yakooji... Made my own with the best of both of them.
Titanium is a bunch easier on the head- you don't need to worry about baby-ing it, you can use it to pry a rock outta the way to get your jammed fish/spear, though you didn't hear that from me
and let's face it, with
everybody and their Mother sporting carbon this and that, a matte grey pole is just plain smooth.
Plus you dont have to sweat the bond between the pipe and the stock as much with worrying about crushing the carbon and the resin binder. That's the weak point on the gun, but if you go the Sultany way and mount and bond a length of titanium rod between the stock and the muzzle inside the barrel, it makes a dandy extra jack for your car, without costing a lot of jack.
I tried a machined aluminum muzzle on my latest 43"er and went back to the Wong plastic muzzle for the more nuetral balance. Looked nice though as do most things that don't work...
