As far as strenght, the Fahgettaboudit is probably stronger than the actual chain links (despite their extra 2mm), but around the same level of the 16mm padlock. I dont know if it's worth all the hazzle, but if it can survive 5 minutes against an angle grinder I think it's worth it, but we dont know that.
It would be interesting to know
In the links below they used what it is assumed to be an angle grinder in phase 2 to cut the locks (all the locks beat the phase 1):
-fahgettaboudit mini......... 18mm round, 2 disks with 1 disk broken...: 3min/side
-pragmasis.................... ?13mm round, 2 disks............................: 3min40/side
-abus granit xplus............ 13mm square parabolic.........................: 1min15/side
-NY MC.......................... 16mm round:....................................... 2min/side

(the chain is probably the pragmasis 13mm chain because:
clue 1: the 2m long chain with its cover weight 6.4kg which is 6.4kg/2m = 3.2kg/m or seller website says 13mm chain <=> 2.9kg/m and 16mm chain <=> 4.5kg/m;
clue 2: price under 100 pounds;
clue 3: the lock is a ss50cs or seller website says the combo lock-chain with this lock is for the 13mm chain and under)
