Also, did I tell you that I can keep up with the carbon roadies on this Mu SL bike no problems?
+1 I used to have a 2008 SL. It was a lovely bike and had influenced a lot of the later Dahons and Terns in the frame design. If it is hasn't suffered a lot of abuse and is in very good condition, I'd consider the Mu SL. Do check the handlebar hinge for flex though. If there any doubts at all on the SL then go for the P8, it's still a good enough bike.
