Radiator Upgrade?

I don't understand the point of an upgraded radiator, does anyone have any insight?

I appreciate any input...

Physically, how can one radiator be more efficient then another? More internal fins, larger surface area?

Better heat transfering materials, most radiator upgrades are 100% aluminum with no plastic, larger surface area is always a plus.
