I like the new Sage form factor and prefer the buttons so for me its okay. I also prefer using the sleep cover to shut it off vs. the switch so the weights not an issue.
If you want the buttons and formfactor on Sage, but a device which is ligther with the sleep cover on, I would strongly suggest a Forma instead. 327g with cover and 197g without.
