From my understanding/discussions with local importers here the main advantage being touted is that these types of pistons can take more heat before they get out of the usable range. These engines can supposedly take up to 150 celcius before damage starts occurring.
Any Al alloy can take way more then 150C before they start damaging. 150 C isn't critical temperature.
On tether cars, when they come from race, temperature some times reach up to 420 F.
