In the end the key is your moving forward. Just think it will all be worth it when you go for the first cruise.
Yeah, I kinda figured that was the true reason behind going aluminum. I can relate.

I've seriously thought about selling my good but not great looking original for an aluminum. Ad I'ven thought about going to a shorter, crossflow unit so I can install some sort of sheet metal topper to make the install look more "finished." But part of me thinks that's a little too billet, too un-traditional, I don't know.
