Winwood Purist vs Ti Forks

[ionsmuse]

Looking at getting a rigid 80mm corrected fork for my Rockhound SS. Decided that the small-stuff eating properties of carbon or ti sound appealing. Questions:

-best deal for the $$?

-durability of the materials?

I'm especially concerned about how carbon holds up to getting knocked around. I'm not a particularly heavy or aggressive rider (no huge drops, etc), but do put a premium on reliability and longevity, and break weak gear regularly.

Thoughts?

If you break stuff regularly stick with steel.
