Thanks for the tip on the Bordo. I won't take it back (can't, really--been using it), but I will reconsider my idea of buying a second one. The locks recommended in the post you linked are rated for their utility in high-theft areas, and I'd consider spending upwards of $250 for a lock if that were my situation.
Happily, my bikes are secured either at home or in a limited-access garage about 95% of the time when I'm not actually riding them, and the other 5% they're in front of grocery stores where I do double-lock them, or cafes and restaurants where I can see them the whole time, in mostly pretty good neighborhoods.
I decided when I bought my cruiser last summer that I'd take all reasonable precautions against bike theft, but the definition of "reasonable" certainly varies from bike to bike, cyclist to cyclist, and region to region.
