Question: why are you getting a 16' inch wheel folder?
I'm getting a folder because my commute involves a train ride and I want to take the bike on the train. With a non-folding bike, if the train is too crowded the conductor can tell you to get off; not so with the folder. I also like the idea of owning a bike I can fold and take anywhere.

I agree with you on the rack. Brompton actually makes an excellent front bag. I was assuming that the generator lights would be more reliable and easier, but if you are saying they are not reliable then I would definitely go with the L version. You really think battery is better?
