Copper Heatsinks

When I first bought my Abit KT7 raid and duron I ordered a chrome orb from coolerguys.com. Well they never confirmed my order so I searched and read a few reviews and everyone was talking about this copper heatsink made by attech called the cm25. Tweaktown reviewed and I think they showed it coming in about 2-3 degrees lower than everyone else. So I ordered one of these. As luck(good or bad?) would have it the chrome orb arrived the same day as my mobo and I immediately put it together. Temp's seemed to pretty good. About 2 days later the copper cm25 came and got stuck in the closet as a backup. Now I am hearing that coppper is still the best heatsink material so I'd like to pull the cm25 out and use it. My big questions are will
1.It cause a problem running with Artic Silver 2
2.and does anybody use this sink if so how good is it?
 
Should be better than the chrome orb (almost anything is😉) .Copper is a better heat conductor, but it's more expensive and a lot heavier than Aluminum, that's probably why there aren't many copper heat sinks. Out of curiosity - Is it much heavier than the orb?
 
It's a low profile heatsink, if memory serves. It should be better. Though, if all copper heatsinks were made as well as Alphas, they'd be badass(Hedgehogs suffer from poor manufacture).
