Since you are asking about an 80 gun safe I have to assume you are talking about the Armory model.
It certainly is not a real secure gun safe for the amount of value that a safe holding anywhere near that capacity of firearms is valued at and is only 30 minute fire rated.
According to Cannon's own website the door consists of one inner and one outer sheet of 12 gauge steel.
They don't even come with hinge side bolts.
All are now imported.
You can do better but you will have to research gun safes because there is not a lot of 80 gun capacity gun safes to choose from and please be aware you won't get 80 long guns in one anyway unless you only collect thin Marlin 60's and Ruger 10-22's.
For all I know you might not be all that interested in fire protection and if that's the case look at what Sturdy offers as even in it's basic stock form without fire protection at least it will be much harder to break into.
I don't have a real high opinion of Cannon gun safes honestly and once you sit them next to other makes of about the same design price point you will see what I am talking about.
I will say the Cannon Commander and their older Traditional line are more secure and have far better fire protection but stacked up against equal costing gun safes not so much.

This will get this thread going I'm sure.
How important is fire protection to you?
How many long guns and handguns are you needing to really store?
At 2k you are starting to get reasonable home protection as long as it's bolted down and you can place it where a pry attack is not much of an option.
If you have read many gun safe threads on ANY gun board there is always a group that will tell you this xyz saw,grinder,torch will open it right up and that's true too.
Fortunately most home burglaries where the thieves don't even know you own a safe never have these tools with them.
So obviously if you do have power tools keep them locked up.
There are some decent capacity gun safes out there for 2k.
One I see mentioned very frequently in a wide body is the Liberty Fat Boy.
But that's no means the end of your search.
Do plenty of research and keep asking questions as some people here know a good bit about gun safes and some even service and sell them and one has actually designed them.
So somewhere in the mix you should get steered right hopefully.
