any insights on how is AM better?

The reason why AM is more expensive is because they are hand made by Moulton at Bradford on Avon, while the TSR was launched for the general mass at a lower cost, by Pashley. Depends how you look at it, some would say that the new TSR uses newer technology in their production.

I never considered both the birdy and the moulton, simply because the design of the birdy is awful and its heavy. For the moulton is because of the way it is broken down and not folded.

Birdy heavy? Hmm... I actually thought it is quite light compared to other folding bicycles.

For seasoned riders la. :s13:

Try riding a 13kg 16" folding bicycle up and down.. :s13: I could climb up but man.. kinda tough.

The east to west is much easier. The west to east is very tough.
