Default Deciding on Singer Featherweight or Janome 4120 QDC

I have a Janome 11000 which has embroidery capabilities as my main machine for home use.

I want a lightweight machine to take to weekly sit & sew group. I have found a Singer 221 featherweight that is reasonable and have also looked at the Janome 4120 QDC. Big difference I know.

1.Each one is light weight

2.Featherweight is mainly for piecing - Janome has multiple stitches, needle up/down, thread cutter

3.Featherweight is half the price of the Janome

4.Featherweight is a mechanical machine whereas 4120 is electronic which makes it more susceptible to damage from vibrations while being transported.

Which machine would you choose to use strictly for piecing?
