According to Abus, the Bordo 6500 has a rating of 15, which is the same as their best U-lock. Assuming that's true, the Bordo is more compact in folded state so may be more convenient. But locking requires the extra step to unfold. So it seems like personal preference and convenience is what makes the difference.
