Other than weight savings and cooling efficiency what are the benefits of an aluminum block over a Iron block or vice versa?

I remembered this thread:
Ford FE -- All you with aluminum blocks from when I was spec'ing out my engine in 2005 and exploring the aluminum versus iron thing. Note the names of the contributors and pay particular attention to the valve lash discussions. That's probably the most interesting aspect of the debate.
