Not true, it depends on the PP of the O2. Many divers have Ti regs that work just fine with PP O2 < 40%.

Right - I meant 50% or 100% O2. Generally when someone says O2 by itself (in the circles I dive in anyway) , in relation to diving - it's probably 50% or 100% - I would of said something different i.e. nitrox , heliox, air, trimix, etc - if it were something different like EAN48 or EAN70. O2 as in a specific mix of gases. Not O2 as in PP02. Hope that clears things up. Terminology between different regions of divers is annoying sometimes lol.

Personally - Ti is a hype and relatively useless as a regulator material - the weight savings is not enough to justify the cost - the fact you wouldn't want to use it with o2 rich mixes is another point against it. That's just another thing to remember which I would not want to have to do.

To each their own though.
