"Alloy" is a generic term; it can be any mix of metals. Anodized aluminum alloy is extremely strong and light, sure, but it is not lighter than stock plastic (BTW: There are several grades of aluminum alloy. Also, there are other aluminum alloys. Boralyn, for example, is aluminum and boron but is lighter than regular aluminum) Claim it's not true if you want, but I've weighed my GPM aluminum and a stock one right out of the box, and I can assure you that I am not making my results up.
