Default underdrive pulleys

im planning on gettin some underdrive pulleys within the next few days and i was wondering if it was worth gettin the aluminum over the steel pulleys. is it worth the extra 20 buck for 8 lbs less. worth it ?

March makes a good kit since they are powdercoated easy to clean

Just get the regular aluminum ones, sounds like a lot just to powdercoat them.

I can get the polished with a clear powder coat over for like 150 for all 3 pulleys alt crank and water pump. Also asp auto specialty products makes a cheaper kit that is close to march check into it.
