I was thinking of getting another lock and was considering these two:

Which one would be better?

I don't think there would be a lot in it between the above two locks, but I would probably lean towards the Abus of the two.

If you are going to leave you lovely Sirrus locked up for 10hrs and you live in London, I think you should consider upping your security even more.

If where you are going to lock your bike allows for you to lock your frame to it using this short U-Lock, I would get the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini Lock and use your existing lock and cable to lock up your wheels.

If the NYFahgettaboudit is too restrictive because of the short length, I would look at getting the Kryptonite New York Lock LS
