There is not one Moulton, there are several models with different ride experiences. Having ridden once a (probably low end) Moulton doesn't allow to evaluate the performances of the other Moulton.
Yes, the Xootr fits in a car but will it fit in a shopping caddy like a Brompton or Birdy, will it be possible to carry it in a plane, metro, bus ?
The front suspension of the Birdy seems strange but it performs very well, much better for a road bike than a classic MTB suspension fork. And this fork also allow to fold the front wheel without adding an additional hinge and any additional weight while keeping a one piece main frame.
And like for the Moulton, there are several models of Birdy, the current third generation Birdy isn't comparable to the first Birdy.
