Note, however, that some of the compact models have alloy frames -- and there's no issue with durability with those guns.
I'd be tempted by a full-size 75B in alloy, if that's ever offered.
When I had a Compact 75B (the steel version), I found it a bit hefty, while the alloy-framed PCR was less heavy. The compact steel model isn't that much lighter than the full-size; most folks who have carried both don't claim to notice that much difference.
