The weights are:
   Ti bottle: 4 3/8 oz.
   Al bottle: 4 7/8 oz.

My guess is that a Ti bottle will outlast 10 - 12 Al bottles based on
the comparative depth of dents in my bottles. I've retired a number of
Al bottles over the years due to fears they will spring leaks. I guess
I'm hard on fuel bottles. Ti is lighter as well as much stronger. The Ti
bottle looks nearly new after several years of use. Well worth the $27 I
paid for it in 2000.
