My view on silver is that it is fairly expensive. If I were to make a block out of silver, I would want to be very certain that the block design was close "as good as it gets" before resorting to using silver.

Using silver instead of copper may buy you around 0.5C, and you'd want to be certain that before shelling out $50 US for the silver alone that there really isn't a better design to use it on.
