Welcome to our forum.
Totally my opinion here, and of course I'm very biased so take this how you should, as my opinion. There's a reason I like Bullfrog hot tubs. No wood in the frame, Made in the USA, best quality and fewer worries and maintenance. I would check out their site for more info on what makes them different:

While we all have our favorites and reasons behind our thinking, I think you'll find the use of the word "Best" tends to rub people the wrong way here since it’s such an ultra-definitive and totally unsubstantiated term in this industry. While I wouldn't call myself a Bullfrog fan, I'm also not a Bullfrog detractor so it’s not about your choice of favorite spa, it’s just my distain for use of that B-word because when I hear it I just think "salesmanship" and tend to disregard the validity of the person speaking/typing. Just my opinion of course.I'm not the welcoming committee but welcome aboard.

However, they have something Bullfrog doesn't... they are "Appliance Grade!" Clearly the best.Joshing of course... I think people tend to make a huge deal out of what the frame is made of. Shoot, I've had spas forever with wood frames and have had zero problems. Use to have Hot Spring Vanguard, now have a Prodigy, and love it.Since you opened up the door Mr. Bullfrog, do you work for them, or just a crazy happy owner? Cause if you do work for them, their website is meh. I was looking at their energy efficiency comparison and it just flat out sucks. They show me a big flashy number of on $12.36 to run and compare other spas. However, what are the real numbers tested? How did they test it? How'd they get that number? Just sayin... I live in AZ and I seriously doubt my energy bill would be that low on average unless I didn't use it.

I've seen many 20 plus year old Hot Spring spas with the frame still in fine shape. We've also made spa with frames made of steel and ABS so its not like I only have one perspective. If your main selling point is wrapped around a negative sell about your competitors wood frames being a problem then you don't have much of a selling point IMO.
