Brompton owners

Hi all,
I've been a long standing member of LFGSS but know very little about Bromptons, I'm about to get £1000 to put towards a Brompton via the Cycle to Work scheme. I will use it to commute 5-7 miles a day.
A few questions:

1. Where is the best place to buy?
   
2. Which one should I go for?
   
   

cheers

Unless you want a reduced 2012 model (which i wouldn't as theres been significant upgrades to the 2013 one) then everywhere is pretty much the same price for bromptons. Find out who has the stock version you want so you don't have to pay for b-spoke and buy that.

2 or 3 speed are both fine for commuting, with 2 speed being a little bit lighter.
definitely buy a bag.
