The Columbian is significantly different from the Vulcan (cast steel vs iron). Would a forged base feel or work steel better/different than the Columbian? Anyone have experience with both?

I have only worked on my Vulcan and Columbian now so really don't have a comparison to say a Peter Wright/Hay Budden/Trenton etc. What would one benefit from a forged iron vs cast (steel) base if rebound and "work" where equal? Does the forged base reflect more energy than the cast steel? I know iron is more ductile than steel so those would absorb the energy more. So I would think the "work" done by the anvil would be about the same. I was wondering if there is a dramatic difference really between a wroght iron forged base and a cast steel base?
