Actually, I have found tests run comparing an aluminum case and a steel case.  The two performed about the same.

So, I'm still not sure myself if they really do or not.  I've not tested it myself, mainly because I lack the extra dosh to purchase such a thing.  For now, I prefer to stick with my steel cases and spend the money I saved over the aluminum cases on some nice Panaflows.

Gotta love Wacky Willys for that.
