I don't have a link, but have done a lot of research on these.

I remember reading that the cooling efficiency is almost equal.

The all copper one weighs much more than the Intel spec for P4 mobo recommends.

Edit: I checked out that link, was a very nice comparison.
This quote tellls the tale: "Not much different between CNPS7000A-ALCU and CNPS7000A-CU" (the poor grammar is theirs)

Confirms what others have said. Minimal difference.

Yea, that was another nice review.

"Given that it is as effective as the more expensive Cu version, and less stressful for the motherboard with its lower mass, the 7000-AlCu model is a bargain. Strongly recommended for power lovers who still want quiet."

Go with the AlCu version. It runs almost the same temps, weighs a lot less, and costs less.
