Default Whats the difference between these 2 castrol oils and which one is better

So im looking at oil for my next oil change and I think im going to try castrol this time, coming from mobil 1. Both of them say fully synthetic on the bottle and one says that it has Syntec technology, what I like about that one is that I can buy 5 quarts of it in one big bottle. The titanium one is more expensive and I have to get it in small individual bottles. Which one is better and why?

The Castrol Edge with Titanium is an improved formula with their newest anti-wear additive package over the regular syntec. I have purchased it in 5 quart jugs from Walmart, I have a couple sitting in my basement right now in 10w30 weight. The extra titanium is an anti-wear additive and worth the added cost IMO. I've seen some good used oil analysis of this oil on an S2000. I haven't used it yet but I will as soon as I get my break-in period done on my current motor.

I use the Titanium. Runs well and reduced my oil consumption. Also made the engine quieter.

This ^. I use to burn a quart between oil changes. And would top off. But with titanium one i burn nothing. So i made up the cost difference with not having to fill up.
