Steel vs. Aluminum Aerial Debate

This is a link to a thread about EOne that morphed into a discussion about steel and aluminum aerial ladder construction. Join in with any comments you have about either and any questions, comments and I'd even like if you'd add some more "myths" about aluminum so we can openly discuss them.

Get involved and come on it!

Looks like there will be little in the way of actual discussion on this. I think most find it easy to toss in a barb or bash some builder with whatever they can find with very little true understanding to back it up. Most people have been sold a bill of goods on the steel vs. aluminum debate by a marketing machine that then determined to keep market share they had to offer an aluminum aerial.
