I was also at a different store that sold Bromptons. They only had one demo, and it was an ultralight model, 3 speed. I had them weigh it and it was also 24 pounds.
That is the regular Helios. It's weight is supposed to be 23-24lbs. Dahon produced a very light weight one a couple years ago. That one is an 18 pounder. I doubt your LBS would have one in stock. You are also correct about the listed weight being without the pedals, but that is standard procedure for almost every company, including full size bike companies.
