I have used AL religiously and have had no major problems with it. Copper is easy to get though. Go to the local recycling place or a machine shop. They may give you enough scrap to use!
What we need to do is take BillA's advice(kind of) and try to overcome the thermal gradiant of aluminum!......Sure would be a hell of alot cheaper and simpler to make!
