ABUS u-locks recommendations - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

I'm looking for a good U lock and I've heard recommendations on the
ABUS brand. In Australia I can only seem to buy either a ABUS Sinus 46
or ABUS Granit-X Plus 54. The later is twice the price. I have found
many reports on the Granit-X as being one the best U-locks around ,
but cannot find any info on the ABUS Sinus 46. Anyone had bad
experiences (stolen bike) with ABUS U-locks ?

You might have a better response from the aus.bicycle newsgroup. Are
you just looking locally, or is the online in-country selection really
that sparse in .au?
