I have owned both a P209i and an F504i, which pair are very similar to
yours, so I know whereof you speak.
AU's Infobar is a few grammes heavier than your P504i (I think--or is
it? It's 87g, which is 8g heaver than the F504i), and slightly longer,
but narrower and slimmer.

It depends on how you carry your phone. For me as well the Premini makes
the wrong compromises; slimness is very important to me, and narrowness
is preferred as well. However, for someone who carries her phone in a
small purse, the premini may be the better form factor.
