Den: Having never sewn satin (yet), I can't accurately compare. By floophy-ness do you refer to texture/how it holds it's shape or something else?
In terms of holding shape, satin will be more solid and hold shape better, whereas chiffon, being a very thin, sheer fabric will have more drape and flow.

As far as how it sews...I think with a bigger table (more surface area so the chiffon doesn't keep falling off the edge and messing everything up) and proper prep-work (using spray starch or tissue paper for added fabric stability), it probably isn't that bad. But I have neither of those so...it was annoying, but not impossible though I haven't checked the straightness of my hemmed cape rectangle yet either so it could be pretty awful too.
I imagine satin to be better in some ways like...it's actual material instead of sheer, smooth, easily torn stuff, but worse in slipping and sliding. Will eventually test it out if/when I get into more sewing.

Also...idk. My bathroom isn't actually that bad in terms of temperature. Mainly because it's a small room and there's a radiator in it. Though there is also a vent that goes to the roof that I can't close too, so it balances out and is kind of luke-warm. lol
