I have the Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0. My only complaint is that I HAVE to hold the thread when starting to sew. I cannot just put the fabric in and start to sew. I love the extra room to the right of the needle, needle up/down, thread cutter, threader, built in walking foot, variety of stitches. I don't know about sewing on *light* material but I have the single hole needle plate and would probably use it if I did any of that type of sewing. I have the extension table and when I am going to stitch the whole quilt I either paste wax the table or put the Supreme Slider on it so there is no drag on the quilt.
