Titanium is actually not as hard as stainless steel, I don’t really see the point in the titanium version. It’s lighter than the stainless steel, which may make it more comfortable, but the aluminum is lighter yet. To me, judging by photos, the titanium doesn’t have an advantage in appearance; they all look about the same, except the stainless steel is shiniest.

Is it worth getting a titanium tube vs. the stainless steel tube?

Weight vs strength. Titanium is stronger than aluminum, and lighter than steel. If that's worthwhile to you is up to you. It was for my 30 cal can.

It depends on application - that said - put a 10" Ti VS SS can on your 16"-24" barrel and feel the difference, transition/low ready.
Fact is - OZ's =LBS.
Big fan of Ti, especially on my 13.5" 5.56 SBR.
Light and fast.
