The author likes either of them. In his view, the Tern is an eye catcher, its good quality is visible everywhere. But it does not fold as small as the Dahon, which is a major inconvience when taking it along on Germany`s ICE express train. He finds the quality superior and he is full of praise about it.
Any Brompton friend, however, will notice, when it comes to folding size, neither the Dahon nor the Tern can beat the Brompton.
True. It is hard to beat the Brompton's sweet fold. I purchased it for the ease in using the Metro here in Phoenix. I owned a cute little red Dahon Eco3 for a few years but when we moved I decided that I needed to have a folding bike more ammenable to public transit. My cousin ended up buying my Dahon though and has been very happy with it - and finds it much easier to take onto the Metro as compared to her much larger Electra (which she subsequently sold!). I suppose it's all relative.
