I'd disagree. Brass is heavy but it is soft. I believe that most Zi/Al
alloys are of a higher hardness than brass. They are also lighter in weight.
When you consider that E=3DM*C(sq) and all that, I'd have to say that one
would have more E at the end of the day after humping a bag of Zi/Al
constructed gear all over the place. Other than that I have no opinion.
