Better, yet, does anyone know of any agencies that are doing 
testing/rating of bike locks (in the States)? This seems like a job for 
LAB, for example, or Consumer Reports, or the bike rags.

Here's another combination  (cable surrounded by hardened steel links) 
that sounds good to me, but I have no idea how it compares to others:

Here is a summary of a 2005 UK test of bike locks:
<http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-101597.html>

'SHORT VERSION OF TEST RESULTS: The Kryptonite New York 3000 U-lock is 
the "best bike lock" and the "strongest bicycle lock" for high crime 
areas and an expensive bike.'

And... 'No lock lasted much more than ten minutes against power tools.'
