aluminums just aren't as efficient for killing game as carbons are.

I absolutely cringed when I read this statement. Aluminums are just as efficient. I'll go so far to say that if aluminums didn't bend easier then most shooters would still be shooting aluminum.
X2, Last time I checked aluminums are quite a bit more heavy than carbons. On the KE chart, a heavy arrow will beat out pure speed all the time. What I like is to have both a heavy arrow moving fast,its the best of both worlds and the KE numbers are off the chart.
