higher heat capacity means it cools slower
... And I thought I was going to get a simple answer! More confused than ever. I'll just give it a go.
better conductivity means less hot spots, two of the main things you want in something like a DO
in this case higher is better. thats what give a DO the all round heating effect. dont confuse poor design with poor materials. use a quality hard anodised skillet of a similar or greater thickness to a cast iron one and it becomes clear. many alu pans are very thin, good for weight but not playing to their strengths for cooking.
Why?
Lots of chefs use ally,

like i said if aluminium gets too much heat it detempers (softens) a fire has alot more energy than your average stove, I believe thats how they started smelting iron in the roman period. Cast iron behaves like a crusible.
