Yeah, I am going to have to agree with the majority here. I too shot aluminum for years and carbon became more and more popular. Now, aluminum arrows are becoming almost more expensive then carbons just because everybody is buying carbons now. I am shooting AMG Airforce carbon arrows. $44.00 half dozen. I think they are on the low end as far as quality but they shoot great for me. I won't go back to aluminum now. I also like how quiet they can be even when they hit the side of your bow. They don't "clank clank" like aluminum arrows do.
