If you are moving and if the current safe is already too small it would seem the answer is clear. Get a larger new safe. I wouldn't expect it to be easy to sell the old one so I would not factor any resale into the deal unless the dealer will take that one in trade and pick it up.
I just went through this and my safe is fine for my needs and there is a local guy who can move it simply so I'm keeping mine. Good luck with your move. (My back is killing me moving ammo) 
Edit to add - if you do buy new assume what meets your needs today is about 30% too small. |

A spare safe is always nice, mags, 10-22's, old shotguns.
The new safe is a nice safe, does the new safe meet the new RSC higher ratings? RSC Revised Price is getting into TL territory. ETA Newer model |

If you need me to help move it, I always vote to leave it and buy a new one

Everyone needs 2 safes. I got a collection safe and an upstairs safe for papers and frequently used guns.

If you can justify a new safe get yourself a new safe.

I always thought the bf series had a better security rating than they do but the price they quoted me seems like a screaming deal.

A Superior Regal is an ok gun safe but it's no BF.
I bought a Superior Master 40, but am considering asking the dealership if I can pay the difference and step up to Superior's Supreme when I go to pick it up. I only want to do this once and get the best gun safe I can afford. YMMV. |

If you have a large collection I would get two safes. One for long term storage or rifles you rarely use. You can put them in protective clothe sleeves and name them in as tight as possible.
The other safe can be for firearms you use on a more frequent basis or one you like to keep loaded. FWIW I intentionally bought a small safe because I value quality of quantity and it makes me really consider buying another firearm due to space limitation. If I had a massive safe I would just be buying random mil surplus rifles to fill it up. |

There's not much I don't use. Honestly it's probably $50-60k with guns, optics, nv/thermal and nfa stuff.
I probably should step up to a bf2 or Superior untouchable. |

I'd look for 1/2'' plate steel walls at least, not "2 inch overall wall thickness" where it's thin steel and drywall in the middle. |

I would leave your current safe where it is as a backup. Stick Ar15, pistol, mags and bunch of ammo in it for emergencies. Buy new safe for new home.

That's a lot to put behind just 1/2" of steel door and less on the body. I would look at a safe that has more steel in the body. $60K worth of stuff and space for more, it would really be nice to know it's truly safe. I'd look for 1/2'' plate steel walls at least, not "2 inch overall wall thickness" where it's thin steel and drywall in the middle. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I’d say thicker steel or a more secure safe would buy you some more time- whether it’s 5 minutes or 15 minutes. Time and success depends on the skills of the person and their tools available to them. I’d make sure you have multi-leveled security- security system, cameras with cloud based storage, etc. |

Better to have 2 safes then one, 3 better yet. Leave the moving to the pro's.

Just bought a Liberty Franklin from a friend that was moving and didn't want to hassle with the safe.
I saved a bunch of money and he's going the 'buy new' route. Win win. |
