Bicycle Design and now, more than ever, I am really happy with my pick almost a year ago when I decided to go with a Halfway.
You mentioned before that you are planning some serious touring on a folder. Based on that ( and my positive experience with Giant) I believe you would benefit from the cantilever design of the halfway. Replacing tires without removing them will be a convenience when (not if) you get flats. On top of that, you already know how solid the frame/ride is.
I personally spent a nice time looking for something better than the Giant Halfway. The only thing I found was the Mr20 lite, but it does not fold neatly. My search, at least for now, is over.
