sorted byIt's lighter, and having minimal free space around the lock makes some lock (or bike stand) breaking techniques much harder or impossible.
On some locks where both ends of the D are locked a smaller length D will be harder to bend to make a gap and more likely to need cutting twice to be removed.

My advice would be to spend an extra £12 and get one of these - amazon.co.uk/Gua…7JK
An example: "In over half a century I have never seen such a poor quality lock. It is the first to ever fail in all that time. I have used it four times and it has never been outside of my house so never been wet or dirty yet it has jammed so I cannot remove it. Neither key works."
This HUKDer has had the same problem with 2 of their locks within weeks/months hotukdeals.com/com…336
Go for a Kryptonite instead (gold-rated or better, if it fits your budget).
Have had mine - this one amazon.co.uk/gp/…IB8 (paid only £23 at the time) - for almost 9 years without issue or any kind of maintenance. Shall be maintaining it from now on though! (edited)
My main gripe about this lock is that there's only two keys, no way to get another as far as I'm aware.
I think this BURG-WACHTER one though is absolutely solid. I've owned lots of locks over the years and this thing is built like a tank.
Almost as good as an expensive ABUS lock I bought fifteen years ago. (edited)
