I think they are different markets. The too heavy was not a big issue in reviews with the H2O or the Aura One (which are actually heavier than the Forma) probably because people were willing to trade off a heavier device for larger screen size. Sure there were people that thought it was too heavy, but since there is a benefit to the added weight (bigger screen) it's accepted more easily.
A lot of it depends on the balance of the device too. The original Aura HD was really nicely balanced IIRC, so even though it was heavier it was nice to hold. The Aura One isn't quite as nicely balance IMHO so one or two handed isn't as nice, but I keep using it for the bigger screen.
