I'm looking at buying my first bogu set, and I was wondering if getting a titanium men is worth the extra cost.

Is titanium lighter and stronger? e-bogu has a superlight line of bogu that looks good, but it's not titanium. I don't mind paying extra for the best combination of protection and weight.

I want the best protection possible since I'm prone to seeing stars after a medium hit (not from kendo, but from other activities, like a header from a cornerkick). I haven't put on bogu yet since I'm still new so I'm a bit concerned about making sure I leave the dojo with all the IQ I walked in with.
