My wife would go nuts if she were to take apart NWT for travel and even loading NWT into a car is a bit of a nightmare. Incidentally, this was when I earned my Brompton - we were loading her Brompton into a car and my NWT and she looked at that and concluded that I should be getting a Brompton too - I couldn't be happier to comply.
I bought a Tikit that needs a bit of tuning, but I haven't really been too excited to ride it. But, I think that should be quick to get the basic fold, although I'm not sure it fits into my older Samsonite.

I'd love to try their new Pakit.

But, yes, I agree the Pocket Rocket is good, but not perfect. Packing it for transport in the suitcase requires a lot of disassembly and reassembly. Just getting the clamp for the rearend and seatpost lined up is always a slight hassle.

Still, you're right, the Brompton double fold looks very compact.
