The odds of burglars equipped and knowledgeable enough to open a safe they did not expect to encounter are so small as to be almost non existent.
Unfortunately the most common way serious criminals do use to open a safe (again even a cheap one) is violence against the owner. And even then they know what they're after before committing the crime.
The odds of the average homeowner ever needing something more than the equivalent of a locked couple of hundred pound steel box wrapped in sheet rock are very slim and none.
Just for those that don't know the most common fire resistant material used in the majority of safes is nothing more than fire resistant sheetrock.
Just a few more things to think about.
This being said I think Tractor Supply company and Academy Sports usually have Cannon safes on sale this time of year for about half the price of the Liberty you quoted.
Good luck
My brother got his from tractor supply on a sweet deal.
