Browning Safes....

As you may recall I've been stashing some cash aside to buy a Kimber.
I've decided it would be in my best interest to buy a NICE safe first.
Having a nice safe wasn't really a necessity before as most of my guns are old, run of the mill, not worth that much variety. Lately I've been picking up items that are, while not as expensive as some of those I've seen here, are worth considerably more than those I started with.
I can get a pretty decent deal on Browning safes. My question to you...
Do you think one of their large Yukon Gold safes, bolted to the floor, will provide pretty adequate protection against theft. Or should I go with a midsize Copper or Sterling series safe?
The Yukon's don't have the high gloss paint or look as pretty, but storage capacity and weight is greatly increased. Both are pretty important. As it is, I could probably fill on of the midsized safes, so I need some higher capacity.

Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.

Which proves that you should always buy a big safe the first time...
It's 47 Cubic Feet
72"x40"x28" for the Platinum, 60x48x28 for the Gold
90min @ 1400degree Omega rating
2 1/2" of Fire Insulation
1445lbs
22 Bolts
3/16" steel for the Platinum, 10ga for the Gold
Patented Uniforce locking system
Omnibarrier lock protection
The Gold says it'll hold 55 Long guns, 43 for the Platinum.
Is it true that if I store tax, mortgage, or other personal information in the safe, that I can deduct it from my taxes?
To be deductable you have to have a business purpose. Like for example you store your business back up computer tapes off premises at home in your gun safe, thats makes the safe deductable.
To store personal papers is not a deductable event. Must be business related.
I have a gold. tops!
