I would say no.

There might be a small difference in bearing surface area, but with modern steels and good lubricants the designs should be equivalent for longevity.

I have both a 682 trap gun and a BT-99 with maybe 50k per each and I don't expect either to go off face in my lifetime. The Beretta is going to need locking pins at some point, but the next guy can take care of that in 30 years or so.
