What are the trade offs with a light, quick action piano vs one with std. action

I don't know if I'm asking the question properly. If not, I hope you get my drift. I don't know how to make myself any clearer.

I guess I mean a piano with as light a touch as I imagine Mozart's grand had, compared to, say, a regular Steinway 7-footer.

Light touch will make transitioning from different pianos a pain.

Heavy touch will make fingerwork a pain (especially if you just use fingers).

Practicing on a heavy piano then playing on a light one will feel incredibly free.

Practing on a light then going to heavy will feel like moider.

Heavy to light you might play a little too loud.

Light to heavy you will play too soft

And it goes on.

Find a medium keyed piano and make life simple.

The clarity of your answer to my question was way beyond my expectations.

Thanks very much, rimv2
