TITANIUM OR TITANIUM + CARBON

Decision time has come and we want your opinion. We have been on the fence about a full carbon fiber fork for a couple of years. From an engineering and liability standpoint it is a nightmare. Poor to moderate impact resistance. Prone to catastrophic failures. Grossly expensive to develop a full custom fork that is not bonded together. Flakey tensile and yield strength issues. These are just a few of the reasons we decided to go old school and stick with a titanium product built to our specifications. We can come close in weight to a carbon fork (1 pound and change), provide similar dampening properties, all while having a more durable product. The issue comes down to how old school do we want to go. Which of the following would you rather see as the consumer/industry worker/general online ranter:
1)All Titanium
2)Titanium Legs/Carbon Crown/Titanium Steerer
3)Titanium Legs/Carbon Crown/Carbon Steerer (We truly fear the carbon steerer, but want to hear your input)
The fork will only be available for our Dillinger frame. This will mean a 485mm axle to crown, 45mm offset, straight 1 1/8 steer tube, and post mounts.
