    That's a large portion of my point!

    Galvanic corrosion is so overblown (but somehow only between alu and copper) and misunderstood that it causes unnecessary fear. Don't worry, you're fine

    EDIT: there's tons of examples in the setups we use where galvanic corrosion should occur. Have we ever noticed it? Is it a big deal even if it is noticed? Not really. Its "doomsday" perception is totally overblown.
