I too find the Repro 20’s heavy too.

Is their weight similar to an original Parker of the same configuration?

No, they're several ounces heavier in the exact same configuration.

Why? Wood density?

I know things are relative, are the 12 repro's "heavy" as well? My VH in 26" length is over 7lb but feels lighter than my LC Smith of similar weight. I have heard that heavy 20 comment several times.

My 12 gauge PH letters at 7lbs 1 ounce. My 12 gauge repro felt noticeable heavier although I can’t remember if I ever weighed it. I hunted grouse and woodcock with it for a couple of years. I never thought it to be a detriment.

If you had one why wouldn't you hunt with it? Of the several repro's I've owned the 20's have always felt heavy, the 28 however is a dream.

Generally speaking, yes 20ga. Repros are slightly heavier than a similarly configured original Parker Bros. 20ga. 0-frame guns. But, I have seen several examples going the other way.
Having said the above, I would like to see what a Remington-built 20ga. 0-frame w/26'' bbls., .030 MWT, DT, straight grip, splinter, 14 3/8" LOP with a SSBP actually weighs. My 20ga. Repro with these specs weighs 6 lbs. 5 oz. My bet, is that they will weigh about the same with wood density accounting for any weight differentiation. The two 12ga. SCCs and a SSS Repro that I've owned w/28" bbls., SG (14 3/4" LOP), SPL, DT and SSBP have all have weighed 7lbs. 3 oz.
