One other question... there is a substantial difference in price on Titanium retainers. Is there really a $100 difference?

PRC has a very good rep for quality products. If those retainers are designed specifically for the 918's, I think you made a smart purchase.
A lot of Comp stuff is way overpriced. (921's for example). It's surprising they still sell the 918's so cheap.

My best advice to you is to get a small pen magnet to pull the keepers off and have a few spare keepers in case you drop to launch one. Good luck, let us know how things turn out.
