I'm with stray - expensive snake oil.
I have a titanium road bike (bicycle) that is great for long distance as the titanium absorbs the road vibrations & thus makes the ride more comfortable. Using the same logic, wouldn't the bridge absorb some of the strings vibrations?

It's installed now, but I have to intonate it and shim the Ti nut as it's a hair low - the guitar is definitely louder when played acoustically..

All said and done, hope the titanium floyd rocks!

Have to admit, as an unabashed Floyd-whore, the titanium Floyd has me somewhat intrigued. Then the price tag summarily stamps out that intrigue. Real quick.
For me, it boils down to: cost-to-benefit ratio- does the Ti Floyd bring that much to the table to make it worth the price?
