Anyone cut aluminum with a hand-held plasma cutter?

Thanks again to Rich for the help! Now I am thinking of cutting the aluminum frieze myself with a hand-held plasma cutter. I have never cut aluminum, however........and wondered if anyone else has.....and if so, could tell me if there is anything I should know about that's much different from cutting steel. It's probably going to be 3/16. Would it run through the tips and electrodes any faster? slower?.....or is it really pretty much the same as steel? Thanks in advance to anyone that can lend a thought.....any advance help I can get is much appreciated because I don't have a lot of time to mess around and experiment with this project.....
