Archangel is ok, her active is situational. Using her as a main eidolon is good for beginners but not that great once you have a decent grid. If you can't LB her, it's better to switch to St. Nick or Barong from the eidolon shop 'cos you can MLB those for free and get much better stats.

Also, if you do decide to main light, or at least keep your options open, make sure you get into a decent union ASAP!! Next UE is light, and it's coming later this week.

tl;dr - you need to be willing to invest some time and ideally some money (or gacha luck) for your light team to get good and feel like an upgrade over your Amon U + Sammy combo.

Btw, is your Amon U and Sammy at lvl 75+ yet? Amon U at lvl 75+ gives you mode gauge reduction and Sammy at lvl 75+ will let you hit the def down cap with just those two himes. You won't hit def down cap with your current light line-up until you unlock both D'Art and Hercules (and you need Hercules' axe at at least LB1.) I still think light is a better choice in the long run but I'm known to be biased towards light, so... I think in your case, it might take longer than usual to appreciate light's versatility.
I dont mind spending on mtix since it pretty much removes rng. I've gotten a couple of dupes so far, LB1 raphael staff, LB1 pluto orb and samael hammer and LB1 archangel (55% light). Been in a union since I started pretty much and I guess they're ok. Amon is 75+, trying to buy the apotheosis grimoires from this event to do samael next. Been running my souls with sneak attack (no legendary souls yet), since It feels more consistent to have a def break on each stage (most stuff is 3 stages), than the atk buff. But probably due to not fighting any high debuff res stuff yet.

I guess I'll aim for mike/tish when there's an mtix then.
