Long story but I have been going back and forth on which way to go with my folder touring projects. Time is going too fast!
If I remember correctly, you have welding and other framebuilding skills.
One thing you might consider with the R20 + trailer is its weight with the suitcase. The ubiquitous 50-pound luggage limit -- some low-cost European airlines might use 20 KGs! -- could be an issue.
Good luck with the project!
