Hi

If you look at the basic engineering of the Titan with it's wimpy motor compared to the basic engineering of the higher torque motor on the "simple" direct drive extruder, the direct drive wins. It also wins when you have a filament race and see which one will actually push filament onto a print faster.

Note, this *is* sort of a dumb comparison. Running at a speed that you exhaust the extruder with normal filaments means running a *very* fast speed on the printer. That will result in sub par prints. If that does not bother you, fine. If you are running something really weird, there are enough variables there to write a book on....
