Default Dumb Question

Maybe a dumb question, but here goes. Is there any benefit to an aluminum/Scandium/what-have-you (LW) frame on a 1911, other than a bit of weight savings? I'm guessing a steel frame will be more durable and offer less perceived recoil (even if only marginally so).

Are there any other benefits to a lightweight frame I should be aware of?
