Sewbizgirl,
The 99 weighs a ton!! The 301 I think is only around 20 lbs but I would consider the 99 too heavy to lug around and use as a class machine.

I'm with you, Cindy.... The 99 is a 3/4 sized machine, but heavy iron. The 301 is a full sized machine, but only 16lbs. Aluminum deck, I think. It's been mentioned here on this thread before...
Oh.. and another thing... I know those suitcase cases look 'too cute'... but um... they smell, you know. That's what they called 'grass mat' or something like that, and it just sort of smells. I like ???'s idea/advice which was to pop the 301 into a padded, rolling machine case and go. Then you have it on wheels, with a luggage/telescoping handle! <yeah, man... >
