High Gloss is easier to lick clean!
I don`t think AC have been in the position to "deliver lots of aluminum Cobra's" since about 1967..... They are 'here' to appeal to a (small) number of customers who will pay a premium for an AC built /Shelby partnership Cobra the likes of which hasn`t been made for 38+ years.
Whether an AC built CSX1*** is better or worse than a Kirkham or Shelby CSX7*** or whatever is a separate issue, but personally, I think I know where my money would go.(If I had any!)
Shelby needs to deliver a lot of Cobras, indeed, but I think the priority is not AC/Aluminium ones.

BrooklandSteve. Sorry mate, I thought you were talking to Mr L.
Dammit, we`ll have to call him 'Teflon Trev' if we can`t get anything to stain his impeccable record!
