Need a new iron.

[loosetooth.livejournal.com]

Finally retiring my ancient Black and Decker iron. Looking for a replacement. Anyone have advice? Good brands?

I pretty much only use it for quilting (rarely, rarely for clothes). Need steam. Would love cordless (for ease, unless they are a pain in other ways) - but shooting to spend around $50. Thought I wanted auto shut off, but that might be a pain in the butt quilting (going back and forth from machine to ironing board as I sew). Lightweight is good for my hands. And can anyone justify why I'd spend $100+ on an iron?

Thanks in advance for your advice and experiences!
