I don't think it would have been a weight issue, although my trans is probably 6-8 times heavier. Looking at mine now, I think I could have cut down the general thickness and still retained it's strength. I think it would have been for ease of manufacturing. If I was capable of casting, then I probably would have gone with ally as well. But I'm still happy with my progress. I had and estimate of $10k just for the wooden plug then it would have to be cast and machined. So It would have been upwards of possibly $20k and still no guarantees.
