I recently got the Pfaff Passport 2.0 to take to classes and it will also be my travel machine as well. I was originally hauling my Juki F600 to class, while I loved it, it was way too big and bulky. I do have a Featherweight, but I wanted something that did more than just straight stitch. The Pfaff Passport works out perfectly for me. It's a 3/4 size machine and also has built in IDT (Accufeed or walking foot). It weighs about 13 lbs and has 70 stitches, adjustable needle position, needle up/down, start/stop button, threader, 7mm stitch plate, adjustable presser foot pressure, and hard cover. There's also an optional extension table that can be purchased to use with the machine. Those are just the things off the top of my head. It doesn't have automatic thread cutter, but that's fine with me. I don't expect a compact machine to have ALL the bells and whistles, otherwise, it won't be as light and portable anymore.
