I've come and basically decided on these two safes, which would you buy, I'm leaning towards the EV900 but don't know if its worth the extra 300 bucks or |

I wouldn't buy either.
The Bighorn's that Costco are superior to these for the same price. Better fire rating, thicker steel, overall weight, etc... The Bighorns also have a port to allow you to put a powerstrip inside if that's a big selling point for you. Cheers, cc |

The canon's have a 30 min fire rating. You're fire department won't even get there before that is up. Who cares if Canon will replace the safe after a fire (homeowner's insurance should anyway) if all the contents are destroyed? The Bighorn has a 70 min rating. Canon's have thinner sheetmetal on the sides and weigh a lot less than the Bighorns. Plus you can get the Bighorn's with a manual lock if you chose. The Bighorns warranty is lifetime and includes breakins or attempted breakins. Not quite what the Canon warranty is but for me, was just fine. I'm sure there are a number of people with the Canon's that are happy with them but I think the Bighorn is a better safe. There was a pretty lengthy thread recently here that detailed the Bighorn. You may want to check it out.
