...My goal is to build a nice light system with enough functionality for what I need...
Have you come down to a decision on what you'd like to build and the useflags you need?
-
If you run Openbox and what something similar to Gnome Shell's Overview Mode you can actually get pretty close.
To learn how to get there start with Urukrama's attempt to replicate Expos?-type behaviour with Skippy and go on from there - it's a fun learning process!

... I'm really liking the use of the Windows key for everything...
There is nothing here that can't be accomplished with Openbox keybinds.

... but I'd actually recommend avoiding funtoo profiles if you want a light install.
I used to think this way, too. However, i've found Funtoo profiles actually aids in system stability (measured by the occurrence of emerge errors).
After setting the generic world profiles with eselect, I manage specific local flags with /etc/portage/package.use - thus removing any unnecessary dependencies.
This seems to me to be a reasonable trade-off and easy to do for newbies - set the base system then work backwards to deal with specific local issues as they arise.
-
Missing features could very well slow things down.
Please suggest a Gnome/Xfce4 specific feature which provides an advantage over Openbox in this regard.

:-( ...puts me off recommending the Funtoo Home page!
