What do you think?
Buy used. I purchased two used Moots frames for a fraction of what they cost new. Titanium doesn't rust and unless there is some obvious crash damage metal fatigue is not an issue. The frames come in all sizes so fit shouldn't be an issue unless you are a platypus. I built up a PsychloX for gravel duty, in all honesty it could replace the Compact as it is a versatile bike and could do double duty as a decent roadie with an extra set of wheels or a tire change.
