The Delsey Axiom is widely available in most independent luggage stores in my area. I was able to take my Brompton and drop it in both the Delsey and the Samsonite and do a comparison test. Most online places sell the Delsey for around $150 but I was able to find it for a little over $100 at a luggage shop in NYC (w/free shipping). I think they were called Eastside luggage. Local shops wanted around $250 for this Delsey.

Thanks for the note on the Eastside luggage. I think you must have meant the axiom 30? Because there doesn't appear to be an Axion 29. I just bought the 30 from them on your recommendation and that was a much better shipped price than anywhere else, with the summer08 coupon.
