Stack On or Sentry?

I know these aren't the Holy Grail of safes, but I need something more portable for now since I'll be moving soon and need to keep the cost under $400. My Homack cabinet is jammed full and it looks like I can get it open in about 30 seconds with a paper clip. The Stack On is 16 gun, and the Sentry is 14 gun. Is one better than the other? Both would have the dial combination lock.
 
I got my Sentry about 3 years ago. Very satisfied. It has the combination lock on the front. I think I paid about $340, can't remember if that included tax.
 
If you're referring to the Gunvault 5000, it does look nice, but how much stronger is it over the Sentry? And if you can only order them online, you pay an extra 110 bucks for shipping. It also weighs 165 pounds, while the Stack On is 200. Can you buy them in stores?
 
Bought mine at a local gunshop. Check your local gunshop. Maybe they can order one. For the money, I like them better than Sentry.
 
My Sentry safes have served me well. I have had similar non-gun ones for years with no issues with them.

Homerboy, I'm also looking at a sentry, looks like a decent safe for the price. I think i will need more ammo space however, I'm thinking of just using a couple of military surplus ammo boxes. what do you guys use?
