ICS MP5A5 is the way to go; lightweight, accurate and a decent rate of fire I'd say you can't fault it. Plus they can be picked up for pretty cheap both new and second hand.
Good lightweight smg?

Eh. Given the tiny size of the cylinder and piston in those AEP gearboxes, I'd say that while 230fps (~0.5J) is credible, 300fps (0.83J ) just from a longer barrel is... optimistic. There isn't much volume in there to exploit.
However, I stand ready to eat my words on that. If throwing in a longer barrel can get it up there, then it suddenly becomes a more interesting proposition. You'll want to do a lipo conversion as well, but that's not rocket surgery.

Mines definitely all plastic bodied, I think the sliding stock rails and the cocking tube are metal but that's about it. A hell of a lot lighter than my M249 anyway!!

All true, but... P90.
I disagree the P90 is one of my absolute favorite guns but the airsoft versions are not good.
