The Diamond, Schutt, Pro9, all have the same hollow steel tube frame. I have the Schutt, and it's really light. Maybe even lighter that my old SUL mask. (the SUL is junk, and you need to get rid of it)

I've taken a few shots in it, with no visible damage. I don't like the thin padding, and will be swapping it out soon.

The question is, is the titanium frame worth an extra $70 bucks? If the Diamond is $80, plus another $40 for decent pads, so the price differential narrows a bit. And don't forget the coolness factor. The Wilson is far cooler than a Pro9.

I sold my chrome moliben with black pads for almost what I paid, kept my doeskin chrome molly for my backup and bought the titanium. So the hit didn't feel so bad, and I still have a good backup mask, as well as a good set of backup pads.

But it's hard to imagine needing a backup mask with the titanium.
