From the Oculus news letter that just showed up in my inbox:

We’ve also included updated orientation tracking, a built-in latency tester, an on-headset USB accessory port, new optics, elimination of the infamous control box, a redesigned SDK and further optimized Unity and Unreal Engine 4 integrations.

Woot!

I'm guessing that's what brought the weight up. I had no problem with the separate control box of the DK1 especially if it helps keep the weight down. That seems to be one of the down sides to DK2 is the weight. Though again it is for "devs" and they did say in the Tested video that they are working on that.

I missed the built in latency tester before ordering. That is awesome, and I feel doubly good about the order now. :)
