What is the price difference on #6 copper and alum wire?

One thing that was not mentioned or not made clear was the use of an
anti oxidizing agent on the aluminum wire when installing and or
changing fixtures and or breakers or connections. Also do not wire nut
aluminum to copper unless you are useing a dual rated wire nut or
connector. Otherwise larger gauge aluminum is as safe as copper. As
others have stated it is the smaller gauge stuff that is really
problematic.
