Hi everyone, can I ask for some opinions on this safe?  I haven't been able to find much of anything with Google.

http://www.menards.com/main/p-1908092.htm

I am just starting to look around and was dead set on only getting a Liberty (Fatboy Jr to be specific) due to their reputation, but the fire rating on this is very comparable, and it's currently on sale for $599 at my local Menards.

What other distinguishing factors separate this Sentinel from more "top-tier" safes?  Are those differences worth ~$400?  

Thanks for your thoughts.

I've been hunting for a safe myself. the big diffs are Fire rating Temp and time,  how the locks work and how many bolts it has (the studs that stick out from the door and hold the door shut) and of course size. Then other creature comforts like 110vac pass through, Network pass through, lighting and other stuff.

I had been hung up on getting a huge super nice safe, but at this point, I'm leaning towards getting a $1200-1400 Cannon. I want the 60 min @ 1200 deg rating and they have the 110 ac and network pass through which I will use to dehumidify and backup data.

From what I see on the manards site though the safe your looking at seems nice for the money, If they wheren't so far away from me I'd strongly consider it!
