Hi

There are limited options in NZ I'm trying to decide between.

Dahon vybe d7. $700 NZ ($420 USD)
12.2 kg
Shimano Tourney 7 speed.
Deltec cable
Dahon v breaks

Dahon launch D8 $1000 NZD ($600 USD)
12.1kg
Dahon 8 speed derailer
Dahon branded disc breaks
New jaws hinge with deltec cable

Tern link c8 $1000 NZD ($600 USD)
Same specs as usa model

Is it worth getting the nz version of the launch given it only comes with dahon branded gears and brakes (as opposed to usa model).

Is it worth the extra $280USD over the vybe d7 model?

Is the tern link c8 better than the launch d8.

My use case is biking on pavement/ packed gravel/ packed dirt. leisurely rides with my 5 year old on the flat. store bike in boot of car (suv). don't need rear rack.

Thanks for thoughts.

Unfortunately i don't have any local dealers so i have to buy online. i have ridden an older dahon vybe (without the new deltec cable) and i thought it was fine for what i need.
