One tip however which you probably know and already follow, but anything
under 800lbs should be bolted to the floor and or stud behind or it's
just a nice ready made container for them to carry out. Happens all the
time. Never occures to people that they can just puck it up and walk
out, which is what they do.

I too have a mixture similar to yours (one fast access handgun safe by
the bed, another tough little safe for the others, etc. but one
container for everything, appeals to me. The good ones are real
monsters, but it's a one time purchase. I think they look cool anyway.
