Default what plane fits this mission? (II)

Mission:
-) four-seater, 1100-1400 lbs gross
-) 150 hp should be enough
-) folding wings/trailerable absolutely required
-) stol not required, faster cruise preferred

Already considered RV10, Murphy Rebel, CH801
but none mentions folding wings and all are proud of their
stol-capability but I want a (moderate) tourer.
Plans/kit/factory built all valid options.
TIA,


OK, of course my original message was not precise enough.

-) No I don't really want the 4 seats, I want a tourer for 2 persons and
a lot but then really a lot of luggage.
-) Yes I did mean gross weight but of course I meant kgs not lbs.
-) rought estimate of weights:
2 people=180 kg, luggage 200kg, fuel 100kg, some 900 lbs total payload
-) wings need not fold, "easily removable" is enough. The real keyword
is "trailerable" because hangar space is very rare over here.

Thanks to all who responded so far. The BD4 looked good at a first
glance, I will certainly consider the Delta Dyke and Mustang also.
