24” wheel experience?

Majority folding bikes I’ve seen around use 20” wheels. I’ve ridden the Brompton and one other (a Chinese knock-off, forgot the brand) They all have 20” wheels.

While in theory the 24” wheel would roll more efficiently and go over bumps and cracks more smoothly. Has anyone ridden one with 24” wheels and can compare to 20” wheels to share your experience?

I have the option to get one with 24” wheels, or one with 20” wheels for the same cost. I’m not sure which one to get. The 24” one could potentially have better ride quality and faster, but it’s quite a bit heavier and bulkier, which will be harder to carry around once folded.

No shop around me has any 24” wheel folding bike to test ride on.
