Debunking the Aluminum Rod Myth

Bought used ?
I am thinking no , but for clarity I'm curious.
Am I wrong , or did this thread grow out of a member asking if he was getting a bargain on a used set of connecting rods that he knew nothing of the history of ?
It seems to be growing into an apples to rutabagas kind of comparison.
If you know the history , you eliminate an important variable that should steer your decision.
If all you know is the price , you don't know anything.

This ^ makes good sense.
