Good old days of brass and steel handles

Just wanted to know if you guys think the days of buying (good quality) balisongs with brass or steel handles are a thing of the past. It seems now that the new titanium 42 might become the standard for bali's. I know that the old way of thinking (heavier=higher quality) is not always true. But wouldn't you still like to have the option of a steel handle for added weight on your butterfly. Perhaps brass dents a little too easily, but I'd think that steel would hold up fine for a long time. Anyway, just wanted to know what you thought. Whether you see steel or brass being other handle material options instead of titanium in the future.

I got the bali bug not long before the BM42 came out so the ti's light weight feels normal to me but I just got a Compass
industries model 1200 with heavy brass handles and I like the way it feels but I think you can achive higher levels of minipultion with the 42
