Per the M&A Website:

"Magnesium has many benefits over aluminum.

IT IS 36% LIGHTER THAN ALUMINUM
MAGNESIUM HAS EXCELLENT MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
WITH NEWER HIGH PURITY ALLOYS THAT ARE NOW AVAILABLE, CORROSION IS ALMOST NON-EXISTANT WE CAN SUPPLY FINISHED CASTINGS WITH A DOW 1 LIGHT GOLD PROTECTION FINISH
or DOW 9 OPTICAL BLACK FINISH


I kinda wish I could see the "optical black" finish, but likely will go with the "light gold."

Corrosion is almost non-existent?
