I've been eyeing a Liberty Fatboy Jr. Seems to be a decent compromise on size, features, and protection.
Check the Trading Post. I dunno if it sold, but El Caballo Loco was selling a Fatboy Jr at a helluva deal...

dunno if you can access it as a n00b, though...
I got mine from Jim at the Gun Show. I'll look for his card.
Ask yourself this: how long of a response time would it take a fire department to reach you?
Typically in an urban setting it takes the FD less than 10 minutes to reach you.
Realistically paying for anything more than 30 minutes of protection is false economy.
Spend the additional money on a larger safe. If you feel the need for additional fire protection 5/8" sheetrock is cheap.
Always buy more safe than you think you need.
Lots of good information here, especially regarding safe fire ratings:
