Re: At what point would you buy an expensive safe?
I wouldn't spend big money on a safe unless I had guns that are pretty rare or had significant sentimental value to me. Since I don't really have any of the aforementioned guns, what I do have is a insurance policy. I do have a safe, but it was inherited and is not an expensive model. It only serves me as a cabinet and a deterrent to any unsophisticated thieves.

Re: At what point would you buy an expensive safe?
^^^^This in red^^^^
I have moderately decent safes, security cameras, alarms, physical deterrents, etc., but I also know I can't plan for every contingency, so I have an insurance policy that covers everything. I have guns that I don't want to lose, but nothing that isn't replaceable. At the end of the day they're just metal and wood (or plastic).

Re: At what point would you buy an expensive safe?
As soon as I start showing pictures of my valuable collection on Internet forums...
and/or start advertising all over my personal vehicle as to what I may own so people can follow me home and case the joint...
(Neither applies to me, lol.)

Re: At what point would you buy an expensive safe?
I have said before on other forums....it all depends on your threat level and reason for owning a safe. Very few safes will survive a determined thief with the tools and time to use them.
The biggest threat level/ownership reason for most of us is:
(a) the 'smash and grab' thief, and
(b) keeping little fingers in the house off the hardware
Neither of the above have either the time nor inclination for ripping a safe from the wall and dragging it to a waiting pickup truck, or sitting in the house for an hour or so going after the safe with a saw, grinder, or pry bar.
I've always used one of the sheetmetal cabinet/lockers screwed to the floor and wall. For me its been an adequate answer for (a) and (b).

I don't own any guns because I thought that was illegal. I keep all valuables in a safety deposit box.
