Jayco Eagle HT and Heartland Sundance XLT are a couple of options as well. Both lightweight and equally well built. Biggest difference between the two is price. Jayco is expensive. Several floor plans to choose from, with all coming in under 10,000 GVWR. Pin weight on my XLT is under 1,200 lbs. and the trailer is 26.5' long.
I would consider both of these to be the top of the line in light weight 5th wheels. Both use many of the same materials that are used in the high end units. Use these as the standard to compare the others to. I did about two months of research when I was looking for a good, light weight 5th wheel, and the Sundance came out on top for me. The comparable Jayco would have cost me about $7000 more, for basically the same trailer.
