I don't think there are any more brass radiators available, certainly not as new items. The aluminum/plastic rad replaces any C900 radiator from any year. Given a choice, I'd buy the thicker one. More fluid, more surface area, better cooling.
The aluminum ones last a lot longer than the brass ones, but are intolerant of excessive force used on the plastic fittings. The aluminum ones are much lighter than the brass ones, on the order of nine pounds or so.
