I'm curious as why you feel you need a compact. 39/27 is pretty good gearing for climbing. I've seen 220 lb dudes do 10,000 feet climbs on a 39/25. Not to be sarcastic, but training makes more of a difference than equipment.

Sound like money is not a concern for you, why not just go with a triple?
