BF Pocket Rocket vs. Dahon Speed Pro TT

Hello--I am in the market for a folding bike that I can take with me to the airport when I travel for work or vacation. I am a pretty strong cyclist, so I am looking for a bike which most mimics a normal road bike. Because I live in the Idaho Panhandle, it is difficult, if not impossible, for me to test ride a folder since there are not any LBS's within the general region which do not carry them in stock. This means I will probably have to purchase it on a wing and a prayer.

My primary needs on this bike are adjustability (since I would be purchasing sight unseen), compactibility to avoid airline surcharges, speed, and stiffness since I am on the bigger side (6'1, 200). My budget is around the $1000-$1200 mark. It seems that my best bets are the BF Pocket Rocket and the Dahon Speed Pro TT. Any pros or cons on either?
