I would be interested in the answer, too.
Going off of memory since 2003
For me the question that came up was how much are you going to be on the track? I told Keith if I remember correctly about 30% compared to 70% on the street. There was the additional cost of the aluminum flywheel and I think more vibration with a aluminum his recomendation was lightweight steel. The lightweight steel is not that much heavier than the aluminum and 1/2 the cost.
