I love my Juki Hzl HT710 . It weighs 13 lbs. Has all the features I want, even a locking stitch. Drop in bobbin, speed control, thread cutter, needle up/down, decorative stitches and feed dog drop. The LQS had a sale last summer and I bought it to take to retreats and sew days. One step above it is the 740. More decorative stitches and embroidery alphabet.
