TBH the £8.99 one will be more or less as protective as £100 spent on an Abus, or £150 on an Oxford, Datatool etc... They just about all cut with boltcutters in a matter of seconds, more or less silently, so spending more's a waste of money- anyone stealing your bike will have good cutters anyway, and there's only 2 bike chains on the market that are hand-cropper proof (Almax Series 3 and the new 16mm English Chain Co)
