Can't answer your specific question, but I've got a very early BF NWT, which is not foldable, imo, but rides like a dream. I've been curious about Brompton for a while, especially after seeing so many in London last summer. I finally tried one out last week at my LBS while they pressed some cotters out of an old Peugeot crank of mine. The Brompton did not compare to the BF. Felt like a toy in comparison, maybe something to have in the truck of the car, but not for serious riding like my NWT.
I've been curious about the Pakit also, as a more foldable bike than mine, hopefully with similar ride characteristics, now that BF seems to have discontinued the Tikit.
