Depends on how much the "cool factor" matters to you. In a street car, you'll never see any real advantages to an aluminum block except for visual appeal to some people- mostly just car guys. The majority of people who look under your hood would never know the difference.
It certainly won't make a difference in power output. Spend the money on a great engine build and you'll be ahead of the game.

Which engine are you thinking about?
