I have both. The chain is ridiculously heavy but what's a few kilos for peace of mind? That said, I still wouldn't leave my bike locked up, unattended and out of sight for a few hours. Especially in certain (I won't name names) parts of London. It's amazing what some thieving pricks try to nick. I once came back to my bike and one of my double straps were undone. I'm pretty certain someone tried nicking it but gave up. It's days like that you're glad it was such a bitch getting them on in the first place as taking them off is obviously quite a task!
Anyhoo, I use the mini for locking the front wheel to the frame and the chain to go through my rear wheel (through the rear traingle) onto whatever post or street furniture you want to secure to and also through the rails of my saddle (you can't be too careful). The Fah chain links fit through the rails on a Brooks saddle (you have a Brooks, right?) just fine.
