I have a Redington Drift in 5/6, well built little reel. The 2/3 would fit your criteria and is available in Titanium color. Check the fit of the foot in your rod, I found the foot a little thick.

Orvis Battenkill is even lighter but I don't have any experience with that reel, I thought it was too light to balance my 6wt.

The orvis access mid arbor is the same as my redington rise 1 it's light and has a drag but also base a clicker built in its a great little real. I think they run around 150$ or so
