Don't use aluminum. Use a Fuji Deluxe seat. The aluminum will be cold in your hand. The issues with Vs reels is apparently do to the lack of the plastic hood liner on the standard fuji seats. the deluxe seats have the line.

Better yet , take your reel to a store and try it in a rod with various seats and see how it looks and feels. Try an aluminum , a standard Fuji and a deluxe Fuji.
