Anyone try the Origami Cricket folder?

Hey Guys,
First post on the boards. I am an avid cyclist but am only now on a commute that involves a train, and would like to snag up my first folder. I am set between two bikes at this point (for my budget any how). The first one is the downtube nova (there are plenty of good things said about down tube here on the forums), and the other is called the Cricket made by the Origami Bicycle Co. I can't find anything on the Origami Cricket, so I thought I would put the question out there. Seems like a lot of features for the money ($300 + $40 shipping)-mechanical disc brakes, full suspension, aluminium frame and fork, fender, rack, etc. I would love to hear if anyone out there had any experience with this bike, or just thoughts in general. To be honest I am still leaning toward the Downtube Nova, since it has a track record, but it might be worth the risk of trying this new kid in town before they catch on and prices go up, much the same way happened with downtube.

Let me know what you think, below are a few pics of the Origami Cricket
