It is my understanding that handweights are to be used as an option if people don't want to or find the vive tubes too hard to use. Some members in my class use the hands weights when they feel awkward using the tubes, eg in BV7 track 7 especially in the triceps section of the track many find it difficult to control with the tube and given the option of the handweights has helped some achieve the movement, whereas with the tube found they couldn't perform the movement appropriately. Mind you only one or two do use the weights and not the tubes.
