I think this is why the FW was much more popular than the 77MG. Yes, the case and attachments add to the total weight, but at least with the FW, it's not locked into a heavy wooden base. The 77MG is about a pound heavier to begin with, and then you add in the wooden base...and the cuteness factor of the FW...it's easy to see why women went with the FW over the 77. I have to say, the 77 does a very nice stitch and I'm going to play more with it as far as FMQ goes. But, since I have the "heavy" one and not the MG version, I guess it will have to stay in the cabinet it lives in.
