If I was buying again I would get the 6 speed. That's because I accidentally found it was a exceedingly good touring bike that could do the hills of Wales as well as Trafalgar Square.
I did retrofit the smaller chainwheel and that was a revelation. Why Brompton persist in overgearing their 3 speed confuses me. Hence a modified 3 speed is good enough for anything short of Ditchling. You can honk up almost anything (well as long as it ain't too long).
I fitted one sided SPDs. They are ideal at ensuring your heels don't foul the EasyWheels when you are tired/straining.
