Thanks again, Mulleady.
I've looked into Dahons and Tikits, but the rollability (REALLY important to me) of the Dahon just isn't there like the Brompton and the Tikit with gearing I'd want is so expensive - between $1600-1800 (I looked into it seriously last year) - that It'd cost me a load of money considering the loss I'd be taking on my Brompton.
What I'm understanding now is that the Shimano Alfine would give me a total of 8 gears vs. the 6 I have now. Ideally I'd like at least 9 to cover my ideal gear range, but then I don't mind sacrificing on the high end, so it's still something to consider.
