+1 One of the nice things about folders is that I can actually use them, but it's a double edged sword because the more I use a bike the more the risk of theft, damage, wear, etc makes me think twice about spending double for marginal improvements.

the bike friday is a higher quality bike.
Although Dahon does make higher end bikes too. I think a more appropriate comparison would be the P24 vs the Tikit (which I think is the BF the OP had in mind).
