Buying a safe is indeed preplexing. So many choices, so many considerations. I went with a Stack-On, not because I think it's all that great (because I don't), but logistically it was the biggest one I could carry up into the upstairs of my house. I really didn't want one out in the garage, which was my only real alternative. It was either that or move into a single-story house, and that's not in the budget right now.

$1200 gives you lots of options, and if you can find one, once in a while a second-hand Diebold industrial safe comes up, and they're tanks. They weigh a ton (literally) and no need to worry about bolting them to anything.

Take your time and figure out what the best solution is for you. Much to think about. Good luck!
