I have to generally agree with you. I just don't like to see the ride quality of the Piccolo driven down too harshly, because it is a good option for some people in some situations.
Also the Piccolo is relatively heavy, but it's 16 inch wheel cousin, the Presto-Lite, bypasses that disadvantage, at significant additional cost.
