So do you want a bigger screen at the cost of a little extra weight, or do you want a bit more portability at the cost of screen size?

They are not "the same" apart from size. The Forma has a flexible substrate, meaning it is more drop-resistant and much lighter for its size. The Forma weights 197 grams, the Libra 192 grams - almost an imperceptible difference in weight.
In addition, because of the flexible substrate, a reasonable person could read the Forma without having it always in a rigid cover, whereas I'd never recommend that with a glass-substrate reader like the Libra. So in practice the Forma is not only bigger and more resilient, but it can feel significantly lighter (since it can be used without a cover).
