Yes, if you change the weight but also change the surface area/drag then it'll change the speed as well - hence the all else being equal. The only reason it wouldn't is if there were zero drag. If we lived on the moon then changing the mass of the object won't change it's acceleration, but sadly we live on a planet with an atmosphere.
