Who told you that? That's bull****.

The 735 and the Concept are both aluminum. While many say the ride of the Concept is very nice and plush for aluminum, both frames are subject to denting easier than steel ones. It's not an issue of construction. They're both great quality.
By the way, here's mine. I like it enough.
