If we promoted the equivalent of folding BSO's how would that be a service? Brompton is on top for a reason. I have no issue with Dahon, Tern, Downtube or Citizen other than the fact they don't make anything that will do me any good. Upgrading a cheaper bike is a slippery slope, you can easily spend the cost of a gently used premium bike upgrading a less expensive bike, and you haven't gained much if anything.
To me a bicycle is a tool I am not going to buy a hammer when I need a screw driver, just because the hammer happens to be cheaper...
