Maintainingf a "Tite Lite" in tandem with "Tite" does not appear on the 
above list, which is why I don't think it is meant to be taken as a 
serious suggestion.

I agree with the formulation of the choices tho. I don't like the third 
one at all. The second one seems perfectly OK. The first one might also 
be OK, but the case has not been made.
