Unless your a weight weinie and 100 grams makes a diference.
I've used both and the best thing to do is get your shock set up correctly.
Just to give you an idea....F1 race teams have unlimited budgets and care more about weight than any one else...they still run steel springs. The springs last longer and feel better. Titanium reflexes too quickly and most shocks can't keep up. Plus they fatigue.
Have you thought of going to a lighter spring weight? Progressive will probably swap you one out for free.
A ti spring is gonna be about a half pound lighter than a steel spring.
Don't even have the bike yet. But riding my friends bike with/without a ti spring, his 5th felt much more supple and plush, but still no where near the ride of a DHX. It was an improvement, but not a huge one.
I heard Ti springs don't "settle" as fast and stay rather springy. It's at avalanche's web site. They are dealers of some big Ti company that makes springs for a shitload of applications from mtbs to jet fighters.
P.S. Link works for me.
Thanks brother...you're too kind to me.

I have a 500lb RCS spring on my DHX, which is designed for Manitou. 500x2.3. I am riding oversprung and am looking for a 450lb spring, Ti. PM me if you're interested in a trade.
My Renton coil took 6ozs. off my Bullit. The guy there found me one in stock that was part of some proto run and just happened to meet my specs for $100. bucks. Nice, bead blasted finish. They will outlast teel springs (and probably you shock) many times over. They will save you weight, but won't really change the feel over a steel spring. Your frame maker should be able to tell you what spring is right for your weight.
...off my '03 Bullit/5th, 2.5" stroke. $25 shipped.
