I currently see the Abus Bordo Granit X-Plus 6500 Foldable Lock as being one best so far and my LBS sells them for about $160 CAD. Any thoughts on this lock or other suggestions?

Please no responses saying the best protection is keeping it locked indoors I would like some practical advice.
Good choice. I've been using it for years. Only better thing is a good, thick chain, which is more expensive, heavier and more problem to carry on a bicycle (Bordo has that neat carry frame mounted rack).
