Yeah. I also suspect that those get inspected for loose bolts a lot
more frequently than most towers do......just sayin. You do you, bro.

Aluminum flexes. Structural steel has bounce too, but aluminum a lot
more so. It'll flex enough that climbers will comment on how much it
moves. Presumably it's safe if you stay within the load it's rated
for, but the next scary thing is the rated load is going to be lower
than steel, and it's very easy for someone to come along and add load
without checking that.
Not saying aluminum is inherently bad, but you have to know it's
limitations.

A customer suggested them for use for a low windloading situation.
I've never heard of them.
