That's a great question, Robin! We don't have one to test with here to compare directly, but just doing a little bit of research, it sounds like they aren't terribly different but that some benefits of stainless steel pie pans and that they hold up better to scratching and denting, it's just more expensive than aluminum in general. It doesn't heat up or cool off quite as quickly as aluminum does, but it's definitely faster than ceramic. If you ever experiment making two pies side by side, one in SS and one in aluminum, we'd love to know if you notice any differences!
