Original Brompton or Original SA?
I meant original SA. Nothing wrong with it (never failed me), but it belongs to older bikes... On an old Brompton, kept in its early 90s patina, it's ok, but Bromptons look a bit slicker now, black parts, etc... When I introduced external BB and a much nicer crankset than the Brompton one (older version without detachable chainring) I suddenly really felt the old SA lever had to go. I'm keeping it preciously, it's still relevant if I built a 3 speed city/shopping bike at some point...

That SA shifter is the best thing I've done to my Brompton! Nothing so wrong with the original one but it really didn't look "nice" enough for the bike...
