Steel vs. aluminum might very well depend on how big you are, and if you're a guy or gal.
I'm small and the weight difference between aluminum and steel is significant enough that I'll never go back to steel if I can help it. Basically, with aluminum I can carry groceries and such easier b/c the bike itself is lighter.
Large folks with lots of muscle might not see this difference, however.
