Narrative

Shortly after takeoff during initial rotation; MASTER CAUTION; FLT CTRL; FEEL DIFF PRESS; followed by the SPEED BRAKE DO NOT ARM all illuminated. I was flying and continued to fly the takeoff profile and handle the radios as the Captain accomplished the Quick Reference Handbook (QRH) for both lights. Both checklists were completed except for deferred items and we decided to continue to destination. Maintenance was advised on ACARS and as maintenance logbook entry was being made it was noted that the same write up was made on the previous flight. Dispatch then advised that maintenance lead requested the aircraft return to ZZZ. Returning to ZZZ; we completed an overweight landing with aircraft gross weight of 160500 pounds and 250 FPM at touchdown.

Returning to ZZZ; we completed an overweight landing with aircraft gross weight of 160500 pounds and 250 FPM at touchdown. Perhaps some clarification on FOM guidance on overweight landings. The Captain used his authority out of the abundance of caution to land overweight instead of holding for an hour to burn the gas; but it did lead to some discussion.
