I need a big safe...40" bare minimum, but I'm thinking 50" will be better.
Let me get this out of the way....a Sturdy safe is not an option, so don't worry about suggesting it. I know they get all kinds of internet love, but my wife says no based on looks alone. It will be inside the house...and she's not fussing at the $4k, so I'm picking my battles.
Second of all, $3000, WAS my budget....so I've already stretched it this far and it cannot stretch any further....so the argument of "just go ahead and spend $200 more" isn't valid as I've already done that 5 times.
With that said, it needs to be installed inside my house for $4000...however we do that by cutting sales tax, shipping, etc doesn't matter....the bottom line is $4k. Two of the below safes are local, one is over the internet...
Here's what I've narrowed it down to with prices that are confirmed to come in just at or under $4000 installed...AMSEC BF 7250, Champion Triumph, Liberty Lincoln.
I made a quick spreadsheet so that I could easily compare the most important features:
Here are the intangibles...
AMSEC BF7250
- good looking
- I'd have to order it online to get it under $4k....that process worries me....
Champion Triumph
- Seems like a well built safe for the money
- not big fan of their textured finished options (only grey and a champagne color)...can't afford the gloss finish and stay under $4k.
Liberty Lincoln
- Gorgeous.
- Really gorgeous.
- In fact...I think this is the only reason it's still on the list
- Excellent, proven warranty service
So what do you guys think?
At this point, I'm 95% sold on the AMSEC. Am I missing anything here for a large safe that I can get installed for $4000? Other options?
Thanks in advance
