Experiences with titanium sustain block?

Anyone have experience with this smaller titanium block? Interested in it being a lot lighter as well

I had one years ago when they first came out from Floyd Upgrades. It was kinda cool. It actually made the bottom end sound a bit different. I guess clearer sounding. I had the FU Ti saddles was well. I also had a Floyd Rose completely Ti bridge. I got rid of everything.

Thanks. I may just leave the stock block in

What are the real world uses for titanium?
It’s lightweight and strong. That’s why it is used in airplane parts, as one example.
If it transmitted vibration, as you’d wish for in a musical application, it would be pretty unwelcome on an airplane.
It is very expensive, which is why a Breitling costs so much for a watch with that flying connection.

For guitars, Ti is all but useless, no matter how many pieces of it are gifted to top players by FU Tone.
