Lightweight Freewheel Recommendations???

Hi,
I'm looking for a freewheel for my vintage Alan, and I want to have some advise from you guys (and girls if app )
It has Campy Tippo hubs with 126mm rear spacing and non-indexed shifters. I'm thinking of a 6spd standard spaced or 7spd narrow spaced freewheel. The smallest cog 12-13 tooth and the biggest 21-23. I'd prefer Italian makes like Campagnolo, Regina or Everest, but French or Japanese parts may be ok too. But I want it to be on the lighter side; it should not exceed 300gr too much, but should not be very heavy on the price either Also shifting and noise are important factors too, but wear is not primarily important as I will be riding this bike occasionally.

Which models should I look for? There are some used Campy SR's recently on ebay, but they hardly end up under $200.. I wonder if they're really worth the money?? Or is there a better bargain for me? Looking for your comments.

Thanks in advance for your help..
