I cannot make that recommendation, I never had a chance to ride a Mini. I'm a big fan of Downtube bikes for several reasons (price, upgradeability, customer service) but when it was time to buy a new bike I decided to go with a Curve. Main reason was the way it looks. I really liked the Scimitar-like frame! I almost bought a Mu when they first came out, and the Mini was like something that I wanted before it even existed.
It's just a matter of time I will need a new folder (I like to have two, so I can ride with someone, and usually sell it overseas to renew the fleet). If I don't have the money to buy Merc or Brompton, I may consider the Mini. Since I travel with my bikes, the Capreo Version is not a good option for me. But I spoke with Yan more than once about that, it is just a matter of time for me to get one.
