Yeh, also if they were estimating the size of Delapparentia by comparing it to the largest Iguanodon specimens, which were 43ft long and may have attained a mass of 8 tonnes, then it would make Delappartentia 48ft long and 12 tonnes. If they compare it to an average sized Iguanodon, which was 33ft long and would have weighed 5 tons , then Delappartentia would be from 33 to 38ft long and would have attained a weight of 5 to 7 tons.

What ever the case this guy was "HUGE!"

That seems accurate. Ornithopods are on average quite heavier that theropods of the same size, specially iguanodontids and duckbills. And the later could get really, really big...

Now I´m regretting making this guy so "gracile". Probably the limbs should look like a more robust morph of I. Bernissartensis, with broader metatarsals and forearms...maybe in the colored version I´ll fix this...:D

I am glad someone else agrees, and it depends on the Theropod species but yeah they might be heavier on average( since Iguandontians were not strictly bipedal). ;)

Hey why don't you just do a revision and add color to it. Act as if you just colored it. And I might take a shotr at drawing this guy and many others soon.
