Oh yeah folding lawrence if you do alot of multimode commuting and drag the bike along the tube alot you might want the trolley rack accessory since you have the Link model it's made for it and makes your bike no harder to drag around than a laptop bag.
But if you don't really need to take the tube as often then I wouldn't recommend it because it's a little heavier than the normal rack you have on there already.
To compare, here's mines with grey frame. I think its looks beautiful as it matches the rest of the bike. Also Tern did made a lighter Hydro-form Frame but its more expensive. Well hey, you save 5lbs.

Going to check out
Bicycle Workshop in Notting Hill. It's been highly recommended for saddle advice. Most people seem to go with a Brooks B17 but I want to get some advice with these ol' child bearing hips of mine!
Ah, Its seems you were also a victim of stock saddle monster. It got me good and put me in recovery for few days. Now I'm thinking of replacing those ugly pedals with shiny one.
