I've seen 2 versions of the Honda Ti. Older versions seem to be more shiny and newer ones more matte, like the one pictured above. I bought the new style from HandA, I like it alot.
I have both versions.

What is the one that comes stock on 07s? It was significantly heavier than the OEM one on my 01. The 01 knob looked like the smaller titanium one pictured above. The 07 one has the leather wrap around it but it's VERY heavy; is it titanium? I highly doubt it's aluminum because of the weight.
i have an 07 and i think the shiftknob is aluminum and wrapped with leather, reason is so heavy maybe they weighted inside the knob, but i like the stock knob, just want to upgrade to Ti because its all metal and look nicer.

A shift knob is one of the parts you WANT to be heavier. More weight on the end of the stick gives your throw more force and makes it easier to shift.
I bot a buddy club, $30 it weighs nothing compared to that two pounder from the factory. I think a shift knob is bling, if you need something so minute to help you shift then you dont need to be shifting at all, otherwise its a pointless "modification" .
