Yes, I'm sure. It's entirely possible that the AOI guy has the wrong information - it's a common misconception. From here - specific gravity of aluminum ranges from 2.55 to 2.8, titanium is 4.5. The bars of the mengane would have to be noticeably thinner before the titanium one would even weigh the same. Titanium is used in this application for strength, not lightness.

If they're too thin, you're going to increase the risk of something flying through the grill and hitting the wearer in the eye or face. most ti bike frames reduce the thickness of the tubes without changing their overall diameter, as compared to aluminum frames. along the same lines, the mengane...
