I have noticed quite a few people asking the difference between the two so I thought it would be a good idea to take some comparison pictures and give a "mini-review"
I got the UKPK Lightwight yesterday and first impression was wow for 35 bucks not bad... not bad at all. This is my first drop point blade, through pictures I thought I would have not been a fan of it. But let me tell ya, its nice!
Impressions:
Scales are just fine and I think it gives a little more "grip" than the G10 version. Clip like all wire clips are just perfect. Love them!
As many have noted the knife lacks a little as far as the tension goes. When opening the blade it is quite smooth(a little too smooth) with virtually no halfway "stop". When you lock the blade into place there is no loud "SNAP" like you hear in the G10 UKPK. Same as in when closing. Blade does not really jump into the handle. As said above the halfway mark could use a little help. You can feel its there but surely not like on the G10.
I also wanted to note that on the lightweight version the thumb hole edges seem to be "soft" as on the G10 they are a little sharper and easier to make your thumb not slip out. I think it is like that due to the blade finish. Not a huge problem but again, noticeable.
Other than those two little "problems" this really is a great knife. As said for 35 bucks, your really getting alot for a small price.
Although both knives are similar they are not the same. I think some people expected it to be just like the G10 version only with FRN scales. Note one is around 90 and the other 35.
I am definitely going to get the leaf blade when it comes out and probably another drop point(liking the burgundy).
If you do not have one, GET ONE. For 35 bucks what do you have to lose?
Toss the sucker around, throw it in the tool box.
Alright, enough with all the blabbering here is the pictures!

so sending it in pieces seemed the wise thing to do. 
Gent who got it said it went back together quite easily.
