Go with the Merlin. Their build quality is second to none.
Also, they have the integrity to liscense someone else's ideas, and give proper credit where it is due.
Litespeed just steals others ideas - the S bend stays are cribbed from Merlin, and the pivotless rear suspension is liscensed from Moots by Merlin, while Litspeed simply stole it without any acknowledgment.
Most important, these titanium frames have a lifetime guarantee. If a problem crops up (not that one would usually in a Merlin) and your frame needs repairs, Merlin are is very responsive. From what I hear, Litespeed's customer service leaves a LOT to be desired.
I hope that answered your questions; go with the best - buy the Merlin.
