Reversed trends in stability of transition metal ions with respect to oxidation state

Why is titanium more stable with a lower oxidation state, but vanadium more stable with a larger oxidation state?


More specifically, why is $\ce{Ti^{+}}$ more stable than $\ce{Ti^{3+}}$, but $\ce{V^{2+}}$ is less stable than $\ce{V^{4+}}$ in aqueous solution?


Both $\ce{Ti^{+}}$ ($\mathrm{3d^{2}4s^{1}}$) and $\ce{V^{2+}}$ ($\mathrm{3d^{3}4s^{0}}$) have a half filled $t^3\_{\mathrm{2g}}$ orbital configuration which imparts stability during the formation of aqua complexes, assuming the $\mathrm{4s}$ electron of $\ce{Ti^{+}}$ can go to the $\mathrm{3d}$ sub-shell.


Is this discrepancy related to the charge/size ratio, which is larger in $\ce{Ti^{3+}}$ than in $\ce{Ti^+}$?
