Definitely appreciate the information there. It'd be nice if the manufacturer website had accurate information to prevent the need for this, but I guess that's asking too much of them.
I'm still pretty sure I'll be getting one of these two, but I have to admit I find the complete and utter lack of reviews or even owners on a forum with as large a group of folding bike enthusiasts as this one is to be very odd.
I think I'm leaning towards the larger Castro but might still change my mind on that.
