Just to complicate it more: I actually wanted the fold to the outside like you are mentioning and just learned by mistake that my new post would end up on the inside. I am actually now super happy with the mistake now. It was a pain to get everything to be in the right place for riding and folding, but now that the work is done I like the inside fold because of the decrease in overall folded size. If you use an extension (litepro or aberhallo, etc.) this would not apply, but without those it is nice to be a bit more compact.
Blopslee, this sounds very close to what I'm looking to do myself over here:

I have a Tern Link D8 and am trying to see if the Dahon-style telescoping style (Radius V) can fit and allow me to tuck the bars inside. It sounds like the Jetstream fit for you. Do you know if the other Dahon versions (Radius V) fit as well?

My bike currently folds like so:
