HHmmm brings up a good point for water blocks anyways. Didnt a few of the storm blocks have bases under 1mm thickness? The differences between copper and alum should be shrinking as the base thickness is shrinking as well.
Combine that with the ability to machine alum faster and smaller channels I think it could be an option.
Everything is a trade off in the end though and with limited production you gotta choose one metal so I think that what was choosen is obvious...
