Default Hi-lift foot cast or steel?

I've got an old hilift and need a new foot. Hilift offers two parts, a C6-24 red cast and S6-24 steel black. Anyone know if they are the same part fitment but different color or material? I tried to call but they are closed at 11am on Fridays.

The "Cast" foot is steel.

Is the cast, cast steel or iron. Is the steel formed or fabricated steel or a forging?
If you have a choice and price variance is not ridiculous, go forging 1st, steel form/fab second, cast iron last. Since it's already sunday, why not call and talk to them monday and u can get courier thru the week.

So I just saw the fabricated steel foot on a "hood mount" thread on a new hilift.
Forget the cast, get the steel.
