Sure, the NYFU is secure. I just don't think that a couple extra minutes under power tools is worth the expense. Also, if the rack or pole you're locking to is weaker than the lock (quite likely even with midrange locks), spending all that dough to make the lock stronger doesn't seem justifiable.
As for the onguard freezing issue, I actually started a thread about it prior to buying the lock. From what I gathered, most of the issues were with older models (though I could be wrong).

what method?
