I can't find much info on people's thought's on running alloy, or aluminum bumpers. Is the 40% or so weight savings worth it?
Specifically looking at these:

or

Would 2x the price be worth it from a handling/mpg/corrosion resistance standpoint? School me on this if you have ran both on a vehicle.
EDIT: STEEL vs. ALLOY! I have a 76 mile commute to work all highway if that makes a difference in the logical thinking behind it. I am doing more of an overland type build/weekend warrior off roader. Not much rock climbing here in Michigan to worry about trashing alloy on rocks.
