Any advantages to aluminum radiator?
I just bought a radiator (OEM) about a year and a half ago. It already has a crack along the top behind the cap. This is the exact same spot the last one cracked. (it was the original radiator) I'm going to have to get another one soon, so are there any advantages to an aluminum radiator? Are they stronger, do they cool more effectively? I can't understand why something that has to withstand so much pressure would be made out of plastic anyway. Suggestions, opinions please. Thanks in advance.

RE: Any advantages to aluminum radiator?
This may seem like a stupid question.... Are aluminum radiators stronger than the plastic ones? More durable? I think I've had to replace this most recent one too soon (1 1/2 yr) and was looking to aluminum mainly expecting them to last longer. If any other benefits come.... then good.
