Brompton bottom bracket upgrade

Hi all,
I didn't see anything too recent on this topic, so here goes...
I have a 2 year-old Brompton S2EX with lots of upgrades (it's down to 20.9 lbs now and the ride is phenomenal). Was thinking of upgrading the last few bits, including the bottom bracket. Is it worth upgrading from the stock Brompton one to the Shimano UN55 (about $40) or would you just go all out and go with the Phil Wood one ($200+)? Would I even feel a difference? The stock bottom bracket feels a little too mushy for me; however, I'm used to nice road bikes... Let's try to avoid the "it's not worth the money" opinions, if possible Thanks in advance...
