You are correct only if we have made the braces with the exact same shape and structural mass out of aluminum. However, you are looking at a product milled from a full 6061 T6 billet aluminum, which is completely different.

Forged carbon fiber is more ideal, but the investment and product costs will be much higher, I don't think people will want to pay $1000 for these in forged carbon fiber...
Well, the M Performance strut brace in the M235iR is like $4k.
