Hah, yeah, well I certainly noticed that difference.
Sure, its a personal thing and difference in build qualities will be vast. I've used a couple ti stems, The moots is plenty stiff enough and perfect on longer distance rides, for me. The roads in cornwall are often a bit rough (my london commute not much better) so a bit less stiff = a bit more comfortable (to my mind) as long as its not noodley. I had a quill grammo that was horrible to ride, way too flexy, didn't last five minutes.
From personal experience, and a joy of riding in comfort, I would recommend a well made Ti stem, which I would assume this A-head Seven would be. If its for track, racing, or your riding requires/prefers a bit of stiffness, then yeah, maybe put your money elsewhere.
