Good discussion above. I have been contemplating XDeep Zen and not easily deciding between Steel or Aluminum. There does not really seem to be a durability issue, correct? The bonus to steel is weight in a nice spot from trim and the benefit of aluminum is it just being a little more handy when traveling. But only 4-5 lbs. Thats the entire choice? Opinions welcome. Thanks...

you are correct. and the weight difference is usually a lot less than that, about 1-3 lb difference. There are some supper thick and heavy steel plates but those are not the most common ones, usually a steel plate is 1-3 lbs heavier than al.
