This question was also asked on at least one other post.   This exercise
would get kind of tricky.  The reason why is because aluminum is so
dissimiliar in weight compared to steel-- 38% per the same volume.

It would be better to compare lengths of masts v. prices v. load capacities
of different materials, in my opinion.
