A couple more thoughts. My job responsibilities changed this year and I found myself on the road 2 weeks a month. In order to keep my sanity, I started looking at folding/ss bikes. I ended up buying a Bike Friday and don't regret it at all. If I took a cycling vacation a couple of times/yr, I would have gone with a S+S bike. Since I travel for business and ride as a form of exercise, I find the BF more convenient.

When you travel for business, you cannot always stay in a cycling friendly area. I can fold my BF, put it in my tiny rental car and drive to the local MUT or park to ride. Also, if you stay in hotels that have a fancy lobby, some hotel managers do not like/allow bikes to be wheeled through the lobby and up an elevator. I can fold my BF and carry into the hotel.

In answer to your question, it depends on what your needs are and how you intend to use the bike
