Valco has the spark stats up http://www.valcobaby.com/products/strollers/model/spark.html

24 lbs, looks like the fold is essentially the same as the zee, seat looks like its a good size. I wonder if it can fold with seat in both directions.

Looks like the spark duo (http://www.valcobaby.com/products/strollers/model/spark-duo.html) stats are out as well. So torn, the stats don't change my opinion but DH has been telling me I should just get the duet since I always seem to be obsessed with the size of my stroller here in Europe. I would be giving up the reversible option and the convertible bassinet. However it doesn't look like I would be giving up seat size.

Seat comparison:
Valco spark duo: 18.5"H x 10"W, 23.5" canopy clearance
(from valcobaby.com)

MB duet: 19.5"H x 11"W, 24"canopy clearance
(from babygizmo.com)

Hmm, per baby gizmo the seats are almost identical to the stroll air my duo and smaller than the donkey (11"W x 20"H, 25" to canopy).

Tough choice roseyloxs, would either fit significantly better in the car?

I have no idea which would fit better in the car. The spark will clearly be wider but the seats come off so I bet it can become pretty small for packing purposes.

Let's Go Strolling's website says that it can be folded with the seat in either direction.

Ooh, now I really want one. I'm just not feeling the bee love like I thought I would. :(

I hear ya. I love mine now but I did not love it at first. It felt large and I was getting frustrated by the getting caught on small cracks.

Yes, it feels so long, esp with the handle fully extended and the seat reversed and fully reclined. Can't beat the push though, or the ease of harness adjustment so I'm definitely keeping it for now.
