Heater cores are never fun. Is there any discernable quality difference between the two besides the material that you know of? I'd get the most expensive, because heater cores are a bitch. Copper is generally a better material, and doesn't corrode as much. However, the aluminum one might be a higher quality construction. What does it come with?

they say it comes with the aluminum

the aluminum is actually the same price as the copper brass one which is weird I though the aluminum would be more expensive.

thanks for all the advise
