Copper only helps as the base heat spreader where minimum lateral thermal gradient is key. There is virtually no thermal gradient in the fins as the air convection is main thermal bottle neck at that point.

If that were true, couldn't one dramaticly improve a heatsink by simply increasing the size of the fins?
