considering a new frame

I'm just starting to think about a new frame and would like some input from forum members.
I just sold my steel Pinarello Vuelta to another formite and now I'm toying with the idea of a modern steel replacement.
I loved my Pinarello but I didn't ride it much...it was just a sunny day nice ride kind of bike for me.
I was thinking of replacing a carbon frame with a modern steel frame.
I will want to hang Campy Record EPS on it.
I now have to decide on frame material and builder.
I have in mind steel, stainless(xcr), or maybe titainium.
I contacted Carl Strong, he suggests Titainium or regular modern steel over XCR, although he will build with it if I want.
if I get regular steel...I'm also considering Marinoni....Priuma Supreme.

So....what to consider??

Titainium..such as Strong??
or his steel frames.

or if steel....Marinoni???

and....what does anybody think of stainless such as XCR???

I really would like the bike to be a modern bike with a weight that is closer to carbon than my old Pinarello.
I am only hesitant to Ti because I have had a Litespeed Classic years ago and I liked carbon better when I switched..Carl Strong says modern Ti is way better than the older stuff.

need comments and opinions.
