2618-T61 Vs 4032 High Silicone Pistion Differences

I've been internet shopping for a set of pistons for the 396 LT1 engine build for my son's car. I've come across pistons made of two different alloy specs - 2618-T61 Forged Aluminum and Forged 4032 High Silicone Aluminum alloy.

I came up blank when I tried finding a site that compared one material with another. Does anyone know the advantages/disadvantages of one Vs the other?

Thanks for the help.

Jake
