I understand your point about the resistivity of aluminum - the point I was making is if you compare two wires, one aluminum, one copper, of equal weight, the aluminum wire has a smaller resistance. Of course, the aluminum wire has about a 70% greater diameter. And despite the greater diameter it's usually cheaper too
