I bought the Wilson Titanium in the first week, and I got the low-profile, because that's all they came in at the beginning. I was disappointed when I saw that they were offering it in the standard profile soon after, and even considered asking Wilson to swap my cage for a standard cage.

Then I took a full-on 88-mph shot between the eyes, and it really was not nearly as severe as a similar shot to the chrome-moliben low-profile or standard profile (my other two masks). With that experience, I stuck with the low-profile in the titanium and it has been remarkable. The light-colored bars are easier to see through, and the low profile makes it easier to see the bottom part of the strike zone, allowing me to set up a little higher. It's a superb view. Its reputation for taking blows that stick is well-founded, I suppose; but the thing's so light that it doesn't shake you up like a standard low profile. It's worth the trade off--so far.
