Niceness of course is a matter of opinion. With the lighted cover baby Kindle is still a little lighter, though, if comparing official covers.

Here are the weights as measured by me today:

$69 Kindle 4B/5 naked: 168 g
$69 Kindle 4B/5 with official lighted cover: 313 g
PaperWhite 1 3G: 220 g
PaperWhite 1 3G with official case: 355 g

PaperWhite 2 is 6 grams lighter than PW1 and 3G looses 9 grams according to specs, so PW2 Wi-Fi with official case: 340 g
