Default Compact .40 vs .45acp for concealed carry...?

I had decided to go with a compact .40SW for concealed carry as it was my impression that the .40 would hold a good amout of rounds in a smaller gun and carries a powerful punch. I am considering the M&P, the Glock, or the Px4 Storm. I was looking at a Glock 27 which is .40 cal and the store saleman told me that the two-finger Glock 27 has extreme recoil due to it's small size. Not that this would be a huge detering factor, but I got to wondering if the compact .45acp would have the same or less kick. I saw the Glock 30 and liked it as much (have not played with M&P or Px4 yet). Since I own a full size S&W 4566, I'm thinking it would be nice to stick with the same caliber.

So, does a compact .45acp carry more/less/same kick as a compact .40SW?
