I'm in the other camp. The first time I squeezed my 155m spaceship through the tiny mouth of a rotating space station in VR, I wept like a baby. (An Anaconda in Elite: Dangerous)

First time I logged into the corvette and looked down the ship, it completely changed the game.

Just wish headsets weren't so heavy.

I put a counterweight on the backstrap of mine, now it feels much less lopsided on my head

Yeah getting a new headset for the Oculus with a battery in the back is a comfort game changer. It's not the weight of the headset that's a problem, it's that it's all front loaded.

I have this counterweight style on my fpv drone, it is nicer... but that headset is also much lighter overall

Absolutely, ED in VR is indescribably breath taking. Basically an entirely different game

I'm usually fine with motion sickness while playing VR, but Elite man...
