I would be happy with this shortcut taking the same amount of time, but here is why I thought it should take less...If I am digging, and have a sword sheathed at the ready, it seems to me that the whole point is to be able to draw it when needed. As opposed to ssetting down my "bag" and digging through it to get what I needed.
An alternate solution, have your "at the ready" item cause malus based upon the weight of the item. This would finally give reason to craft for lightness, and be realistic in that a sword sheathed at the ready may occasionally get in your way while trying to dig.
This would force people to weigh the benefits of this ability.
