Why? Without knowing the diver and the conditions he dives in you can't make this statement. For cold Cal diving, steels may be a good choice however for warm water they may not. I personally can not dive steel in warm fresh water, they are way to negative for me even when diving with no weights. I dive AL-80s with no weights and am still a pound or 2 heavy in fresh water. Steels have their place but they are not always the best choice. Plus the cost of steel is twice that of AL, I can buy 2 tanks and the little extra lead I need for what 1 steel would cost me.
I figure the value of out of hydro pre 1990 AL-80 at around $20, esp if you are in Fla, the dive shops up here actually understand AL tanks. Post 1990 maybe $40. Add $15-20 if they have a recent hydro.
