Do you carry a bag on the rear rack instead?
I use the both the sizes of rear rack mezzo bag options. Its more aerodynamic and much bigger, and quicker to release than the brompton rear rack options. Brompton rear rack is only about 60 percent as big as mezzo. There is also a distributer than make more versions of the mezzo rack and bag system.
Yes the front bag system is convienent, I would be a bonus to have that excellent brommie front bag system as well as the excellent rear mezzo system.
Ie I would like to have the mezzo rear luggage system on my brommie also.

I have looked in to swoping the brommie rack for a spare mezzo one, but it would stick out too much When folded.

There are ori options to add a front fork luggage rack, but it's not available in UK and is very small in size. Seat post options and handle bar options are the route to get more luggage on the mezzo afaik.
