Yikes!
Yeah, cedar has the maintenance factor, but it sure looks great! (IMHO of course). 
My current home is a kind of tudor-style and has a mish-mash of brick and stucco on the front and one side and aluminum siding on the other side and back. I really hate the combo. It is actually really nice siding, but my plan is to replace the siding with brick if we end up staying at this house. Problem with aluminum siding (mine anyway) is if you ever drop a ladder against it or something else hits it - the dents show from a mile away. 
Then I'll pass an old stone home in the country and dream...
