Unless I've misunderstood something, bronze is also cast, while anything made out of iron or steel requires a strong (and
skilled) dude to stand there and bang away at it with a hammer for hours and hours and hours. And more hours. So there's a labour cost element that seems to favour bronze, even if iron is much cheaper in terms of materials.
