I usually dont get involved in versus threads..... but I feel frisky today.
Dahon SL is selling for 699 shipped ..... what you should add is a 20 dlr Seatpost adapter for the I beam seatpost ( in order to be able to use your own choice regular saddle)
The Dahon is light, has excellent brakes, folds fast, the Nexus rear hub is the coveted red stripe version, it has great grips, great mks pedals, schwalbe tires.
Check out youtube for films how it rides, and how it easily being pushed around.
come visit us in southern Illinois and take a testride on my personal SL .... ( I added a short travel thudbuster to mine ...took the chainringcover off, replaced it with a freedrive ( plastic snake which goes over the chain ) added a couple Klickfix accessories ...
Obviuosly I get good deals on that stuff...lol
but I get good deals on everything, meaning in the end it its also money I have to spend for my own stuff....
and I choose a Curve SL

If you want to have cult status .... than maybe not ...

thor
but ... and here comes the disclaimer.... you better get off that fence. I think I am more or less the only source for them at this time and my stock is down to 2 bikes !!! ( no I wont sell my personal one )
