What does a 5mm crank difference do?

So i have steel 170mm road cranks on my bike. It's a converted but has a high bottom bracket which has never pedal striked:

So what i want to know is if i get 165s what will be the diff other than having a better % of not having pedal strike? If i do get alum crank will the weight diff be slight or noticable compared to having steel? Also are alu better durable for street than steel or should i stick with the steel( btw it is a very good crank from the 80's not sure what kind tho).
