If you plan to travel a lot be aware that everytime you put your bike together you will need to readjust the gear cables and 60% of the time you will need to readjust the break cables. I tried that several times and after one trip with several stops, I gave up and now I only travel with bikes that do not need ANY kind of assembly when I arrive. I currently have a Merc, a Brompton and a 12 hour old Dahon Curve.

Just keep in mind that a 40 minute procedure to disassemble and pack a bike on a trip with 3 destinations that you want to bike at is at least 4 hours dealing with packing and unpacking. Good luck on your choice.
