Of course you can tell easily.
The one on the left with the more worn shift pattern is the aluminum. The one on the right with the deeper color and smoother finish is the titanium one. It also weighs 250 grams as opposed to the 150 grams of the one on the left.

Here's a picture of my titanium shifter:

I used to be a big fan of the countersunk knobs, but over time, I began to appreciate Honda's decision to go with the stock height when I picked up the OEM Ti knob just for kicks.

It simply feels better and you actually get a sense of positive shifting movement whereas at lower heights, the action feels mechanically vague and a bit over done.

I love to shift my S too, but I love to do it even more when I'm wearing a cotton glove. Not sure why; it just seems smoother.

I'll have to invest in some real racing gloves soon.

This shifter deserves nothing less than a solid metal knob on top.
