In my relatively short tests I was surprised how similar both the Brompton and BF felt to me -- the smaller wheel and narrower tire on the Brompton gave a bit more bumpiness, but the elastomer rear end on the Brompton smoothed that out. I was expecting a bigger =difference -- but at least in my case i found both a pleasure to ride and neither of them created any "geez, what am I doing" moments. If you are a large fellow like me you will look like a curcus bear on ewither one -- but that's not bad -- both bikes drew equally large numbers of smiles and friendly comments from folks on the MUT.
I cannot comment of 40+ mile rides loaded on either, but I'd imagine I'd be good on either one. For me the difference would probably come down to how often i'd want to fold it and how quickly -- if the fold is key the Brompton is hard to beat.
