In the long term if you desire having a low profile derailleur like the Dahon Neos, the Shimano shadow series derailleurs have a very similar profile. I've got an SLX shadow mid-cage on one of my folders, it does a very good job of lowering the profile. I'd recommend them, although they're certainly higher ticket than a Tourney is.
Is the Cyclone going to have room to fit in its normal positioning? It looks like it, although it's hard to say from a photograph, too. It looks like standard mounting would also bring the Cyclone pretty close to the ground too, the bike might not be a great one to hop up curbs on
