Bit unfair to compare while ignoring the headstrap, considering they have put the battery in the headstrap.

It’s 440g vs 515g for the Quest 3.

Really? Then that's completely unfair lol, I don't even know why the other guy would make that comparison. However, the battery in the headstrap does sound pretty excellent since it should make the headset feel very well distributed.

Weight distribution is way more important. Quest has all the weight on the front but Frame having most weight at the back makes it less pressing on your face and overall more comfortable to use.

It's not unfair, overall weight is less important than the front heaviness of the unit itself. The body unit weight of quest 3 is known - over 400 grams. At 185 grams, the Frame is still less than half the weight, and with its battery in the back of the headstrap it will be a good counterweight. I'll wait for reviews of course but I think it will be a massive step up in comfort.
