Gun safe fire rating comparison

I'm looking at buying a gun safe. I'm looking to spend $3000 or less. The one safe I'm looking at is the Winchester Legacy 53, about $3000 online. I was also looking at Cabelas safes, made by Liberty. It's $2850, and is comparable in gun capacity to the Winchester.

The main difference is the Winchester Legacy says 2.5 hours at 1400 degrees, and weighs 1650 pounds. The Cabelas weight about 1000 pounds and is 75 or 90 minutes at 1200 degrees. Is the weight difference that important and would the Winchester Legacy 53 be a good safe for the money?

I was thinking the Winchester might be stronger and be more fireproof because of the weight, would I be correct?

Thanks,

John
