The only bike I ever had nicked (so far) was locked with an Abus Varedo. I thought: I don't need the top Abus, the next one down will surely be enough to persuade people to try a different bike instead...
Was locked outside the LSE about 2 years ago for a couple of hours. I also made the mistake of being lazy and just locking the top tube to the Sheffield (have Pitlocks). Big mistake. Think they snapped it with a lever (I found the remains of the lock there, sheared in two places).
Moral: Don't use an Abus Varedo as a primarly lock I'm afraid.
Oh, and fill the shackle!
