The basic coolingworks model uses copper for the threaded inserts on the side where the swiftech one uses brass. Is there much difference in thermal expansion?

EDIT: the Dtek model also lists copper threaded inserts, DD doesn't specify. It may be pre-production vs. production differences, but the threaded inserts themselves look different between swiftech vs. others. Are they molded in when the body is molded or added later?
