I am however not prepared to swallow murketing fluff such as: "The center of gravity of a motorcycle helmet will affect how the weight is carried, which can make a lighter weight helmet feel heavy and vice versa."
You can probably get 3 of the 4 things you want.. due to the rule of life (you can never get everything you want)
You can get light, you can get white, you can get full face..... but it won't be cheap

you will probably have to make a choice between light and cheap lol
With due respect to the retailer, this is nonsense.
Or:
"The fit of the helmet is paramount, because a proper fit will distribute the weight more evenly around the head and down through the shoulders".
Fit is important, but it will not do much to solve the problems caused by a heavy helmet. The weight causes fatigue and after a time pain in the base of the skull and shoulders, not on the top of the head where a bad fit will cause discomfort - a different problem altogether. At least, this has been my experience.
