I've noticed the same thing as well. BUT....they strayed too far from the mold imho.
I had the CZ75b and I've got 2 HP now. one in 9 and one in .40. I'm sticking with the 1911 for feel, security, tradition, and friggin punch
I would love for them to come up with a .45 on the scale of the compact. Unfortunately, their primary market is in Europe and the .45 is not very popular over there.
