The Furuno 1620 definitely meets that threshold. Its display can be
mounted out in the weather, so you can see it while steering, a real
plus in my experience. Secondly, its radome is quite light, which is
good.

I do not know from personal experience that the JRC does not meet your
threshold. It is even less expensive than the 1620 and looks small
enough so it shouldn't be heavy.
