The LGX is spectacular for the length expandability and I do not recall having a serious bulge problem. My problem with the LGX is that pump was difficult to inflate and sometimes I just failed to inflate. There is a need to a quick squeeze of the pump that hopefully would result in= a "popping" sensation. If you fail to achieve this you will continuously pump thinking you are inflating when you are simply recirculating the fluid. Very frustrating when you are ready for action and you are having an argument with your pump. So the way I dealt with that is to eventually get it pumped up and leave it hard until the next time. Among other things this means that you are not returning the fluid to the reservoir increasing the possibility of encapsulation and of course the bulge resulting from your "permanent hardon". The good news is that deflation was easy and worked. AMS pump gets brownie points there. Yes it is true about the natural hang.
BUT BUT BUT the best part of the LGX is the expandability. When I got my revision I added 4 CM tp the cylinder lengths. That is a lot!. I personally give the expandability feature for half of this increase and the other half to my continuous use of a VED AND hanging weights.
So if one can master the task of switching to inflate mode and you want more length and you want to avoid the bulge I would recommend the LGX.
I decided on the revision because I felt I had enough length and I wanted more girth and I wanted to be able to inflate every time. Hence the Titan.
Well I got 4 CM of additional length (I would have got this with another LGX although some of this might be in extra RTEs). YES I got the easy and reliable inflation. BUT then I got a back-filling problem, a very "hard" flaccid dick.. (cylinders of the Titan are more durable and stiffer. HOWEVER my complaint about the Titan may not have anything to do with the Titan. My doctor whom I still trust elected to reuse the AMS reservoir rather than to install a new Titan reservoir which is larger and has a back-fill preventer valve. Reduced risk of infection etc.
The result is that now I have a really large flaccid dick with stiff cylinders that bulge a lot.
BOTTOM LINE FOR THE AMS vs TITAN comparison.. Just like the advertising says.. It is that simple.. Softer easier hang vs stiffer hanging cock. I think both are well designed and will last a long time. You cannot lose with either. BUT… I love my Titan when I do not have to go out in public. Hiding behind my sun glasses I am focusing on eye movement of women I walk by and none seem to notice. So I guess this is all in my head. But it really does stick out and I can trace my 7 inches in my pants. I see the outline of my glans and I am surprised that women do not notice. So what is the worst thing that can happen? They think I am some dirty old perverted man. I object.. I am not dirty.

I have been continually confused about the descriptions I have read about operating the AMS pump.
With my pump, even a slow squeeze of the bulb results in the valve flipping to inflate mode (the "pop", which I feel as a sudden collapse of the bulb as I squeeze it). This usually (90% of the time) on the second squeeze of the bulb. The first squeeze is resisted by the bulb. The second squeeze is resisted but then gives way as the valve flips to inflate mode. Happens every time except for the times when the first squeeze does it.
After that, each squeeze of the bulb results in increased erection (and increased resistance to squeezing as the pressure in the implant rises) until maximum erection is reached.
Deflating, of course, is accomplished by depressing the deflate button until the valve flips into deflate mode.
But locking the valve with the same procedure (which puts it into inflate mode) does not seem to me to be likely to lock against spontaneous flow from reservoir to implant tubes. It seems to me that leaving the valve in deflate mode should do that.
My valve works and I know how to operate it. That is the important thing. But I would really like to know HOW it works. Design drawings of the mechanism have been hard to find.

...I should calm down and give it a chance for me to accept this. My problem is that I have never seen another man with such a bulge. Truthfully I have never noticed a bulge in person.. just in pictures.
Enough talk about bulges. I just what to deflate it and keep it deflated. This will solve my bulge hangups.
So tell me one more time.. how do I keep my Titan deflated?
