Default Silla Aluminum radiator experiences?

I found a rather small leakage on the top of the driver side plastic part of the radiator. To resolve this issue I started looking for replacement radiators, and since I hate plastic, I found this one:
Silla 1826AA Radiator - OE replacement

Anyone here got any experience with these? Or maybe know of any similar products?

It's pretty much the same price as the stock, so I can't really see why I'd choose the brittle plastic version.

I've had one of these silla all aluminum radiators in my '96 s10 for about 2 years now. I think it actually cools a bit better than stock. The welds look pretty good on it, the trans and oil cooler fittings don't have any issues. I'd say go for it if you haven't already.

Thanks!
I haven't replaced the radiator yet, but will probably go with the Silla radiator.
