I know I have already posted my opinion.... But, an extra £50 or £100,even if it means waiting a bit and saving, or option 2, no hand..... There is only one answer!
The titanium tube is vastly superior to the others, handled over 700 bar without exploding, some of the aluminium ones are going pop at sub 200 bar... Its not worth the risk in my opinion.
