Treatment of TiCl 4 at low temperature with EtMgBr gives an organometallic compound that is unstable above

Question:

Treatment of TiCl4 at low temperature with EtMgBr gives an organometallic compound that is unstable above −70°C. However, treatment of TiCl4 at low temperature with MeLi or LiCH2SiMe3 gives organometallic compounds that are stable at room temperature. Rationalize these observations.
