Default small block versus aluminum big block for racing?

I am trying to evaluate the pros and cons fof the small versus big block engines. I see the immediate weight handling advatages of the small block but surely an all aluminum 427 would give the same weight as a small block but with the extra power. Am I missing something obvious?

FOr example is the aluminum 427 a suitable choice for track racing? The obvious disadvantage of the aluminum big block would seemto be the cost.

I have a feeling this is going to result in strong emotions one way or the other
