Given that a big part of having a folding bike in the first place is fitting in small places, it seems that the two bikes aren't really comparable. (And I speak as a Birdy owner :-)
That doesn't mean a Mezzo isn't a good bike, just that it really isn't in the same category as a Brompton.
I think this demonstrates what some posters have been saying for some while, that when it comes to folding there is nothing in the same category as a Brompton.
