Usually theres only a small difference between a copper block and a aluminum one, but 3-4 degrees is a lot whem you think about it to some. If you just want a quiet system, maybe AL is ok for you, but once you spend on everything else copper is usualy only 10.00 more. If you change your mind later it'll cost you more!

The best blocks only come in copper also. Try a Danger Den Maze 2, there 42.00, but once you figure that you'll spend 10.00 for a decent holddown on a cheap block (or more), it's really not that bad (as it's built in!).
