the only real advantage to aluminium is ease of manufacture particualy with larger mirrors. You might be able to improve the thermal characteristics of the cell with heat sinks fluid etc maybe thin plate fluid base but the added cost would offset the gains. Having said that even a half working system would be interesting after all if we just wanted pictures of stars we could just download them.
