Have never had a hot tub. Have opportunity to purchase two year old used Caldera Geneva and four year old Sundance Maxxus for apx. same money. Dealers for both are available locally. Like the Maxxus as majority of time will only be spouse and I (and i'm BIG at 6'1 and 320#) and the two lounge/ seat arrangement works. Spouse likes Geneva because it is newer. Your input suggestions comments about reliability, performance, powwer consumption etc will be VERY welcome. Thanks in advance.
1) Personally, few things make less sense to me than the few spa models out there with two lounges but in reality the Maxxus really has 1. It has more defined seating than the Geneva wich is more open which I kind of prefer but no right or wrong to that though a couple of those seats may be tight for you based on yor size.
2) Reliabilty and performance should be similar. The Maxxus may use a little more power due to size but not substantial.
3) Warranties do not transfer so its all about condition. The age may play a factor with the Geneva being newer but pay attantion to condition. If equal I'd lean toward the newer one.
4) You have 2 options, use that fact. Make each of them an counter offer knowing the other is available.
5) If all is equal, go with the wifes choice to keep her happy and wanting to use the spa.
