Talking to one of the experts and getting their view is a truly good addition to the debate.
Seems it verified some of what we 'knew'.
Less RTEs may be better if not considering any other factors, but it's not that simple. There ARE other factors to consider.
AMS do have an issue with the tubing insertion, and all else equal, AMS will often require more RTEs than Titans. As in your example. A 24 cm LGX would have given you a risk of a poor pump placement, so Kramer chose 21+3. With a Titan, probably 24+0 would have been ok. There are plenty of guys here (including myself) with Titans without RTEs and great pump placement.
But then again, of course he had his reasons for choosing an LGX in your case, so it is not only about RTEs.
Did you ever ask him why he preferred 21+3 LGX setup instead of 24+0 cm Titan?
Dr. Kramer suggested the LGX at our pre-op appointment due to its length/girth expansion capability. I have a lot of stretch & he felt I could gain significant length & girth down the road with the LGX. He was right...before the procedure, I believe I had maybe 5.5 inches max stretched. At this point 16 weeks out, I have over six inches when fully pumped & I actually think I'll gain a little more through regular cycling...have slightly more than 5 inches girth as well. The other factor I like about the LGX is its natural feel/look under clothing when fully deflated and the extent to which I can actually deflate it. My understanding is that some with the Titan have deflation/bulge issues...perhaps Alibaba can weigh in on that question...he's now had both the LGX & Titan...
