If I recall correctly, the health benefits of aspirin aren't primarily anti-inflammatory. Ibuprofen is a much better anti-inflammatory at moderate doses.

Correct, Ibuprofen is much stronger for anti-inflammation. Aspirin is a blood thinner and a painkiller, at least these are its main accepted functions so far.
