hey guys. i am trying to narrow my search for my first tub. i am basically looking for a 5-6 person tub. i think i want a lounge. my budget is $7k -$8k. a reliable, reputable brand is a must. energy efficiency is important. strong jets (i prefer a powerful massage over a gentle one) would be nice. i am putting a lot of stock in warranty and dealer. based on what ive read so far i think i will want an ozonator (im all for anything that makes water upkeep easier). i've done some preliminary research on the above referenced models. i was hoping to get your thoughts. how do these stack up in general? how do they stack up head-to-head? what would you recommend, and why? are there any other models i should be looking at? i'd appreciate as much feedback from as many of you as possible.thanks!

Are you looking for a "5-6person tub" or a tub that will fit 5-6 people? Owning the Altamar, a "5-6 person tub" 4 people are comfy. A 5th...if we're a realllly friendly bunch. You're not getting six in there comfortably.
All 3 nice spa's but I have a very hard time comparing a Sundance Cameo to a limelight or a Caldera Martinique..

The shopper could simply look at the Caldera Tahitian/Geneva or the Hot Spring Envoy if he wanted something more along the size of the Cameo.

Size has nothing to do with price in this case, the Cameo is in a higher class for what it offers compared to the limelight series. The 700 series of Sundance is more in line with the Limelight.. Now the Envoy I can see.
