I agree with you 100% that it doesn't matter. 
I disagree about no one changing their mind...once you've used SS you'll never willingly go back.
No one but a weenie would drive a gas powered RV...diesels rock. :rockin:

There is circumstantial evidence linking Aluminium with Alzheimer's disease but no causal relationship has yet been proved. Why risk it if you may already have a predisposition for the disease. I would recommend stainless steel over aluminum.

a recent study of autobiographies written by nuns weeks before taking thier vows
suggest that a high level of cognitive ability may offer protection againts developing the disease. low linguistic ability was found in 90 percent of those who developed alzhiemer's, and 13 percent in those who didnt.
there is strong evidence for a genetic basis for the disease...but enviromental factors likely play a role in most cases. (monozygote twins prove this when one gets the disease and the other doesnt)
a history of head injury is another risk factor. so are exposure to toxins such as lead or mercury, as well as chronic use of drugs including ALCOHOL.
some things that offer protection are: ibuprofen, NICOTINE, and statin drugs.
and engaging in cognitive activities like reading a newspaper everyday(or a brew magazine).

If you are really worried about it, brew in aluminium while drinking home brew, smoking a big fat cigar and banging a stupid nun. . . and it sounds like they will all cancel each other out.
Alzheimer's isn't a desise you get while you are young. You get it late in life, which sucks, so you wont want to remember that part of your life anyway. Besides by the time you even get to the point where you MAY want to remember your later years you'll be long dead so whats the big whoop?
Seriously, use what ever you can afford and enjoy yourself. When you really start to worry about what you are doing and what you are using just think of the old monks. They didnt thave a choice of stainless or aluminium, they didnt have sanstar or iodine, hell they didnt even know wtf yeast was and they still made decent beers we are all trying to imitate.
Relax, dont worry, and have a home brew. If that dont work then
