I read your post, but not any that followed, so I may be repeating, but I have experience with both locks.

With the Evo Mini you won't be able to lock both the seatpost + your rear tire. You would be left locking the frame only, or using the Sheldon Brown method (look it up). If you secure the frame only, you could get locking skewers for your wheels, or use the cable, as you said.

The STD will enable you to lock pretty much whatever you want. It's a great lock, and it's 8" shackle is quite accommodating. But it's heavy. I rarely use it simply because of the weight.

It seems to me that neither of these locks are ideal for you. Have you checked out Medium, or 7" locks? That is- a lock with the same width as a mini, but instead of 5" long, it's 7" long. Kryptonite makes two. The Series 2 (grey bar), and the Evolution (orange bar). The Evolution 7" lock is currently only avail as a package deal with a cable, but the Series 2 can be purchased on its own. Both of these locks aren't much heavier than the Evo Mini & they offer more versatility.

Check out Onguard too. They are cheaper in price, but not in quality (although people have their preferences). They make the Bulldog Medium, which is the same premise. Onguard's dimensions are slightly larger than Kryptonite, which, for my bike, makes all the difference.

Good luck.
