Default OEM Aluminum versus Titanium Shift Knob

I know this has been discussed in the past, and I've done a search, but I can't find the pic where somebody placed the Al and Ti knobs right next to each other to compare them. I just bought a "Ti knob" on Ebay, but I swear the guy sent me an aluminum one. If anyone could post a pic, that would be great!

Thanks

Maybe I should have been more clear. I have a 2004 S2000 with the stock leather wrapped shift knob. I thought I bought the OEM titanium Honda knob as advertised by an Ebay seller, but I think the seller sent me a 2000-2001 OEM aluminum Honda knob instead (non-leather wrapped).

In the past, I've seen a pic showing side-by-side the 2000-2001 OEM aluminium knob and OEM titanium knob....they are very similar except for a slight color change and the weight (I don't have a gram scale). Can somebody post this pic?

The Voodoo and Rick's knobs just aren't for me, but thanks for the suggestions.

The factory Ti knob is considerably heavier.

negative.

i have the following..

ap1 aluminium
ap2 perforated leather(wrap)
ap2 solid leather(wrap)
s2000 optiona Titanium knob.

the titanium is not much heavier than ap2 leather knob), the aluminium knob is very very light, the clearcoat on the knob often rubs off and flakes, you can't mistaken it for titanium one, it's very very light
