Interlock integrated seat-post cable lock

Been using one of these for the past month:

I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who uses their bike for their daily commute and for running errands all over town. Would I use it instead of a proper U-lock to secure my ride overnight? Of course not!!! The only drawbacks I've found are that:
1. It precludes the use of an under-seat repair kit. I now carry my tools in one of my water bottle mounts.
2. It requires a key. Given that convenience was the whole point of the exercise, I'm baffled as to why the (Vancouver-based) manufacturers went with a key lock as opposed to a combination option. It comes with two keys - if you're like me and lose keys like odd socks, Price's on Fort will cut extra copies for about $5 each.
