Well no, I wasnt. I've had both bikes, and whilst i struggled to believe the volume figures quoted above, to my mind the Brompton fold is far easier sequence to get to grips with than the Mezzo, (what with unlatching & swinging the front wheel and making sure that a mid gear is selected, etc.) and when folded is a far more ergonomic package to handle.
They are both great bikes to ride, as indeed are most bikes made by reputable makers these days, something that doesn't always come over in comments on this forum, folks will get partisan. In my present situation i buy junkers in the market to use before they get stolen, after 50m i hate them, but after a week i love them & would defend them against any & all critisism - bikes are like that, they get under your skin.
