Why is the Titan so expansive?

[Corinthian]

The titan is probably expensive in order to prevent it from being a cheap E bless chassis. Every pretender with dom 3 and E1 costs 75+ points. The titan just happens to be slightly worse that most other E bless chassis. I could see it as a niche chassis for Jotun/Utgard though. With E9A6?

Maybe push it up to A3 so it can get into the air bless niche but isn't any better at providing an earth bless. It really just is the case that it's the worst of the Earth bless chassis. Only by a little, but enough. Same for all other potential roles, except providing access to earth and air for nations that just happen to need those 2 and only those 2.
