Why does your msds sheet say aluminum instead of lead?

Believed they have moved to an aluminum alloy core. So my question is, which is better, the lead or aluminum? I found one of the old ones at Napa with the lead core.
So I'm bumping this because I'm curious, which is better? Is the lead better, but they are moving away from it due to the disposal issue? Or should I have looked for a newer one with the aluminum core?
Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but seems like a well-built quality product.
Got a response back from the company from PiggerAndy I'm guessing to. Basically, it sounds like they wanted to use aluminum for the core, but couldn't find a alloy/process that would yeild results like lead. After further testing about 6 months after they released the product they discovered a alloy/method to produce an aluminum core that would meet their stress testing and produce a slighty lighter product.
BTW, the rebate and extra items they included were awesome. They sent a $2 bill, a 3-pack of PIG Mat absorbant pads, a survey for the Pig Mats with another $1 bill attached. Cool company.
