Just wanted to see if anyone has any experience with the Liberty Safes. Specifically the Fatboy Jr or the Franklin 25, or 35. I'm looking at these three and wondering if it's really worth to spend the extra money to get the Franklin series? From what I gather in the Franklin the fire rating is 15 mins longer, it has .25 bigger bolts with an extra 1 on top and bottom, the mechanism is supposedly better, it comes with lights and electrical outlet and the interior is "better". My first thought is well duh but the price tag goes up significantly too! The fatboy doesn't seem too shabby though. The steel is the same gauge, it will come with battery operated lights and it holds 48 guns instead of 25 or 35. (i do realize they all won't hold as many as they say, but based on size alone it will hold more). Whichever i get it will be bolted into the floor and there wouldn't be room in the closet for them to get the safe on it's back. Any thoughts or experience with either of these two will be greatly appreciated!
