Thanks for the replies.
Looks like I am still struggling to find a decent comparison/review above the 2008 Ride magazine info. Struggling to justify paying 10% of the bike price for a chain (£280) which I fully agree, although may be the most solid is only really a deterrent.
The b**tards will no doubt get it if they really want it.
Right now I live in a sleepy retirement village and fortunately my garage is overlooked by the blue rinse brigade across the road, great to have them looking out for us. I get daily updates of van movements in my street!
I can see me touring alone and using campsites but I am very unlikely to park up the bike overnight in any high risk area.
Decent deterrent under £100 is what I'm after from a chain & lock....
Something decently portable which doesn't fall apart with a single hammer blow, no doubt will also use a disk lock for show given they are so portable.
Squire stronghold lock seems to come out well, but the chain not so well. Oxford XL Hardcore also gets a decent write up in 12mm guise, felt too small chain size but came out well in Ride test. Not sure if I can get the Oxford XL Hardcore but with a 14mm chain.
The search goes on....
