Default Having trouble with titanium needles on longarm

I know that everyone says the titanium needles are so much stronger, but I find that when I use them on the long arm that they are thicker than regular needles and with a thicker thread (like King Tut, so using a #18 needle) the thread and needle going through the opening to pick up bobbin thread seems to slight rub against the opening. Does anyone else see much difference when using titanium?

I also find that when they do break (hit a ruler, etc)that they seem to really shatter.
