Keep in mind steel takes much longer to machine than aluminum, so it's easier on the machinist if you just stick with aluminum over steel. If you need the weight, add some plates, but I don't think you'll need it.
Why do you need weight?

Ok, I think you're right. Aluminum is probably be the better material choice.
