Individual cogs in the ones I wear out are about $20 each. I have no intention of buying a complete cassette. Ti is a more expensive material and more difficult to machine than steel, and the volume this vendor is producing is a fraction of Shiimano, so I can see $20 for a cog. My expectation for Ti is to at least double the life of steel and probably more.
