Default Port-a-wrap III or IV?

I'm looking around for a new lowering device and I see Sherrill are offering the large Port-a-wrap IV (stainless) for $120 while the same sized Port-a-wrap III (aluminium) is $239.

Just wondering why the new stainless version is so cheap. Is it because the heat transfer properties of stainless steel are not as good as aluminium (and aluminium is more expensive)

cheers,

Likely made in China.
