Aside from the anodized bling factor (admittedly important in a lot of cases), I can't see a main reason to choose an aluminum flat pedal over a high quality composite pedal. A good composite has plenty of grip, has the rock-strike-dulling characteristic, and are indeed strong, light, _and_ cheap.
I have Race Face Chesters on my FS and Deity Compounds on my HT, and both are awesome. I do lust over a set of Deity TMacs, though...
