I recommended the nexus 7 bike and think its fantastic value I honestly think you need to find the extra money as its such a superb buy. As for quality I have experience of the Dunlop folding bike sourced through Sports Direct which was later rebranded Muddy Fox I think. My mother has that bike. For the money it was fantastic quality except i don't like the basic tourney drivetrain.
If the bike is the same as hers it is sourced through a company called avocet bikes who have a range of brands although most of their folding bikes are sold under the 'Viking' brand. Check out reviews of viking folding bikes on sites like Amazon.co.uk to get a general idea of quality. The great thing about the Nexus 7 model is the Nexus 7 dictates the quality of the drivetrain and rear hub which is high. Beg, borrow or steal that £50 to buy the Nexus model.

I've seen the Dunlop and its great. 12kg weight, excellent welded frame with a maximum rider weight of 120 or 125kg. The bike looks far stronger than a Tern for example. Can't imagine it failing.
Another option here. The bicycles4u bikes are pretty good for the money. This is a steel frame bike but apart from that is pretty much matching Spec of the Evolve 100 except no mudguards or rack. Good load capacity. These steel frame folding bikes tend to be stronger but you'll pay a kg or two extra in overall weight.
