Check out the respective K values and you'll find brass around 3 times worse, so the thinner brass is better than thicker copper....
You have arrived LHG!

Yes Copper cored cores would be good. The current radiator thread features one that looks suitable.

What are the reasons for using brass over copper in common cores though?
