Welcome to our forum.
Might just be the angle or lighting but the Hot Springs "stone" looks more realistic than the Sundance version. Of course it would take an in person eval to really know for sure if there was any difference.
Yes, watkins makes the Hot springs brands. They also make Tiger rivers, Hot sports, Solonas, too. Watkings mfg bought out Caldera spa a couple of years ago.
"I like the look of HS better but it is a different look of stone, the thicker stack stone look or the thinner stack stone on the Sundance"I agree Mendo!I may go look at the HS stone panel at the HS dealer in Dallas if they have one on the floor.I'll take pics when I go.
