That's the lovely thing about life...diversity! I'm happy that you're satisfied with the cube. I don't have data to go by, but if I had to venture a guess I would say you represent the maybe 5% of people with the xcube who finds it to be a quality TC mod, especially when using SS. I've used 316 and 317 on the VTC - hands down better TC function than the cube. And the DNA 200 just looks at the cube and laughs.
Of course the DNA200 does. That's the chip to be. I wouldn't ever say the $40 Xcube is on par with the DNA200. I do love the mini, it's just you're stuck with their coefficient setting. I use 316L and it will torch cotton at 410°F. The X Cube isn't a plug and play device, as I said there is a learning curve.

I have the stock Crown .5 ohm coil running at 480 degrees right now on the Xcube II and it is tasting pretty good. I haven't looked at the screen to what I am actually reaching and I don't have the app running on my phone right now to record... I don't think...

I did have the software up and running it turns out and connected to my phone, but like normal, it didn't record anything... ugh

He is who I get my stainless from... sounds like I will order some titanium from him then! What gauge is good to pick up for Titanium? I have never worked with it.

Honestly that will depend more on your vaping style than anything. It will also be somewhat dictated by the mod you use.
If you're a single coil RTA person, then I would recommend 22 or 24 gauge. That will be great on most any TC mod. However, if you use a lot of dual coil setups, then your mod will be more the deciding factor. For example, if you have a 40 - 75 watt/joule box, and you want to run dual coils, I personally feel you should use 28 - 26 gauge. The larger wires will have a slower ramp time and kill batteries on the smaller mods. If you have a stronger mod (xCube, DNA200, or 100w/j mod and higher) then 22 gauge dual Ti is the bees knees. 7 spaced wrap duals on a 2.5mm inner diam comes in around 0.07 ohms. Fantastic!

If you're looking for battery life nothing else compares to these bad boys.

How do they feel to hold? Have any other mods to compare size?

I will say I'm NOT a fan of the app at all! After I upgraded the ti/SS I was over the app. It does seem to have gotten a stability update but when I first got the xcube it took about 8hrs for smoks servers to come back up to do the upgrade.

I normally troll around my RDA's with dual fused claptons. 26 gauge nichrome core wrapped in 32 gauge kanthal. In RBA's I normally run either a clapton or fused clapton using 32 gauge kanthal core wrapped in 40 gauge kanthal. Single coils in the RBA's and duals in my RDA's because of the space.

Not as big size wise as you may think. They do have some heft to them because of the 3 18650's.

That is what I am liking about them. I have bigger hands, even the Xcube II feels just right and slightly on the smaller side in my hand. My M80 I used to have so fun to use because it was like walking around with deck of cards.

I like the thought of it being more round in the hand and heavier with the extra battery.

If you can wait that's a great price. I paid $50 for mine on a Black Friday sale.

No did not say that I am not a fan just stating what it is.. if you cannot adjust the TCR it will never properly work with all grades of SS so its a big Istick :)
Boo... deal breaker for me. I will just have to wait to buy a dna mod!

Do not get me wrong if it was a 6 months ago and before I switched to SS I would have jumped on it.. But I have trying to advnace my level of vaping not stay the same.. yes getting a DNA 200 would be smart anything less is as of the current date less if your goal is to truly be able to grow with TC now next year for all I know it will be a virtual orgasm of delight and I will buy that too :)
