Aluminum Or Aluminized Pipeing

Was just wondering if any of you guys have used aluminized pipeing for your coldside pipeing on your turbo setups.Is there any reasons not to use It besides It weighing more than aluminum.

The aluminum pipe is also better at dissapating heat, possibly helping cool down the Iat temps a little more. I dont know if it will be substantial.
