A chain is harder to cut through. You can snip through even quite a substantial cable with nothing more than a pair of side cutters.

@ltc had said that this was to protect against opportunists, so a decent D lock and a (much less decent) cable would do that. Obvs it would need to be a chunky chain to help against anything meaningful, and even then a battery grinder could see it off pretty quickly...

We're using a cable for now but I feel like a chunky looking chain is possibly more of a visual deterrent? Might be talking bollocks though! Obviously there's not much you can do to stop a determined thief but the use case is basically to stop someone just picking a bike up and walking off with it. Maybe a chain is overkill for that, I'll have a think.
