Spade Anchors Aluminum vs Steel

Does anyone have any experience with these anchors? Practical Sailor recently gave the aluminum Model 80 very high marks - however Spade Anchor themselves recommend the steel version for a main anchor. I like the low weight of the aluminum version, but would like to understand what I would be gaining from a safety point of view by going with steel?
