The X Man has demonstrated to us that the orbital tabs on later frames is rounded and on earlier frames it is more squared. This made a lot of later frames looser from the jump- what we have come to refer to as "infinite hero" loose.
Your 2nd gen Ti comment does not beat this out though- these I doubt would have the rounded tabs.
X MAN?
Ok so it sounds like you share some of my same experiences (with the R1 at least). The 2nd Gen Ti-frame and to a lesser extent my Plasma R1 frame, they both seem a tad larger/wider than all of the X-metal and 1st Gen "bone" finish R1s I've ever owned.
When I look from a "bird's eye" view at my R1s, the "RAW" finish ear stems do not appear to open up as widely as the Plasma. I should probably post a pic for you guys

I have noticed this most with Juliets, not so much the R1s, but a couple of XX and an R2 too. I attribute it to a less than straight/proper/true setup from the factory. This seems to be especially true with OCP frames of certain finishes in my experience.the only fitting variances I've noticed have been attributed to nosebridge tightness
measuring the "open " earstems wont really prove anything....each pair of arms has its own bend from the previous owner.some are almost straight with a gap of 5" and some wide open with 25 shox are only an inch apart...(who are these small headed freaks).every pair is different.maybe try taking out the t shocks altogether? then measure the way the arms open?
maybe an arm swap? but then again there could also be variance where the screw tap and hole were made... hmmmmmeasuring the "open " earstems wont really prove anything....each pair of arms has its own bend from the previous owner.some are almost straight with a gap of 5" and some wide open with 25 shox are only an inch apart...(who are these small headed freaks).every pair is different.
