I might grab one too... It's basically local... so if I can pick it up for that price I may buy one...

As far as the cooling... copper has MUCH better cooling capabilities then aluminum... it just corrodes/degrades faster... aluminum is just for longevity not cooling capability.

Also just FYI... a BUNCH of the guys at the h-t meet I went to with swaps still had their stock civic radiator with NO overheating problems... including a type-R swap... so I don't think it's really neccisary... My rad's looking pretty shot though so I may just pick one up since I'm replacing everything else in the cooling system soon anyway.
