A few mins with a slide hammer and that face plate will be off and you will have access to the inner circle. Not convinced, it's essentialy the the same as the tumbler locks which use similar principle and now easily bypassed.

I will stick with the (totally unnecessary) Abloy Protec2 deadbolts I have on my house.
