A Heavy Heart was a special run of the Fusion Steel Heart line. It was thicker than the standard Fusion Steel Heart but not as thick as the Heavy Ordnance Grade Steel Heart.
There were available only in black/black and in either standard or magnum scales.

Heavy Heart FSH is .270 nominal thickness on blade, more pronounced sabre cut grind on blade.
Standard Fusion Steel Heart, or FSH is .250 nominal thickness on blade. Available in many variations of blade color, scale color and thickness (standard and magnum)
Here is a family shot:
Right to left:
Heavy Heart, HOGFSH (Heavy Ordnance Grade FSH (5/16ths thick)), FSH, FSH, HOGFSH, SHSH (Straight-Handled Steel Heart, aka 'The Precious')
Bottom knife is Public Defender with urban camo finish...

Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
If you find a deal on either, I would take it. The difference between the HH and the STD FSH (0.020) is negligible and without a micrometer you can hardly notice the difference even looking at them side-by-side.
Functionally, I'd say they're about equal.
The HH FSH may be a bit more desirable because of its' limited numbers, but comes only in black/black combo as far as I know.
You may want to look for a STD FSH because they’re available in so many different coating/scale color combos, you might find a unique one that fits your particular taste.
