Ok, I popped into Evans, which is next door, and the ABUS 401 really isn't worth the money. Even ABUS give it a 10 rating, and their Granit X 54 gets a 15 rating. Also, it is quite a bit smaller than a Fahg Mini, and doesn't look like 16mm, more like 13mm. I'll add photos tonight, so that others can compare the two.
I don't believe that the 401 Mini is a 16mm lock, as Wiggle say in their sale page. Its looks to be either a 13mm or 11mm lock. It is also only Sold Secure Silver, whereas the Granit X 54 is a Sold Secure Gold. Would a 16mm u-lock be rated as a Silver, and the 13mm lock be rated as a Gold? I find that not very realisitic. Avoid.
