| I have a Titan with the AXI 2217 motor, and two Trex (one is XL, one is Rotorworks G3, neither with AXI motor).
The Titan is a wonderful kit. Probably the best quality heli I've built (I've built, maybe, 18). It is heavier than the Trex. It flys a little more stable and "groovy" than the Trex, but at the cost of flight time. I get around 5.5 minutes of aerobatic flight.
The Trex, being lighter, is less stable, but more nimble. I've not had any serious wrecks with either, but the Trex being lighter, I think would survive a crash better. I get 8-10 minutes with the Trex.
I tend to grab the Trex first, due to the flight time, but as the wind gets stronger, I start leaning toward the Titan because it handles better (but like Dr Lodge says, if it gets windy, I go for the 500).
