I haven't carried a second cable lock, but I do have a length of steel cable I can use with the cuff to secure wheels and saddle, or if I need extra reach. The cable has looped ends, which I can slide onto the jaw of the cuff before closing it.
I was looking for something fairly secure, but more portable than a u-lock or heavy chain. The two options that I looked into were the Master Street Cuff and the Abus Bordo. I went with the Master because of the price difference.
The 12" Master is what I was actually looking into, you don't find the reach is too limited?
