You need to post an intro in the proper forum before you post again, it's SOP.Armorman wrote:The Titanium SOV 1000 was discontinued because of cost and a decision to streamline the number of manufacturers. One manufacturer can make both the Level 3+ and the level 4 ceramic tiles, while dealing with the Titanium was more market dependent on a precious metal, and a investment in a different supplier that couldn't actually supply level 4 tiles. These tiles are more expensive than ceramic, but the titanium is superior in many categories.
I have one of the Titanium tiles here and the price on them is double when it was first developed.
