While $110 is a very good price for the Ti pedals (in fact I'd be very suprised if you can actually get them at this price.....), the only difference between those and the SL's is that the spindle is Ti rather than stainless steel, so they are a tiny bit lighter - like maybe 40grams, which is roughly 1.5oz.

I am switching from Speedplay Frogs to Quattros and love the Quattros. Mine are stainless steel.

Yes they are a very good deal! I found them at a bike shop online out of indianapolis and they sell for 137.95 but they have a coupon code for 20% off your first order and since I'd have to buy the 2 bolt cleats ($20) for the cheaper set the titanium ones end up being slightly more.
So do you think the quattros will be ok for first time clipless pedals? I suppose everyone has to start somewhere!

I think they are great for first time clipless users. They are very easy to clip in and out of, and if you decide to switch to road shoes some day, the pedals will still be 100% compatible. (I use them too!)

The pink ones on ebay are even less - I sure wish pink matched my bike!
It doesn't say whether the included cleats are the SPD 2-hole or the road style 3-bolt type. I'm going to ask the seller that question. I am ready to get pedals and this seller offers a good price. Thanks to the OP for the tip!

With quatto pedals the included cleats should be the 3 hole style - so unless it specifically says that they come with 2 hole cleats, I'd expect you would need to purchase those separately.

Eden,
As I tried to find that out, I noticed that different retailers offer different cleats. This one for example, indicates that the Quattro cleats are SPD style.
