It just occured to me, I didn't consider a shavenspa from Colorado.

You're not worthy.

  Haven't seen you mention it yet but have you looked at Artesian spa's?   We no longer sell them, but they were/are a solid brand.

No, I didn't , but I did check their dealer locator and I do have one less than 20 miles away, its at a place I've never been to, maybe I'll make a trip.

Spent more than an hour total this weekend in my sister's Vanguard, including 1/2 more by myself playing with all the controls. I hope to wrap this up and have an order placed by the end of the week.

sorry, depending on the year of your sisters you'll have to re-learn some things  ;D control panels are improved, some jet designs are different/improved so you can now shut off jets completely and also easily swap the entire jet body if you like a particular design on your upper/lower back, etc.....good choice though  8)

My sister's tub is a 2010 I believe.  I think she took delivery in late 2010.  The control panel, at least as I viewed it here, I do give an edge to HS, I really like that control panel, but I'm a bit of a techno type person anyway.  Also, while it is a relatively small tub, I did like having the secondary control panel on the opposite side of the tub where I was sitting that I could turn jets and lights off and on without getting up.  (not hard to do, but I did like it) I'll stop at my HS dealer again and look at the jets since my sister's tub is still fresh in my mind.

oh ok, so in your case the control panel will still be the same, but some of the jetting will be slightly improved, again with the ability to easily swap them out, and also to completely turn certain jets off to direct pressure to a certain jet...the soothing 7 jet is also a nicer design imo...obviously your local dealer can show you these features

I'm sure he's got at least another month or 6 of shopping left  ;D j/k its good to do all your homework before making a big purchase, sometimes it amazes me when people drop 10k after a 20 minute presentation on the sales floor without even sitting in a tub dry or wet

I suspect we will be buying this week.  Currently 3 tubs in the running, one Jacuzzi, one Sundance, and one HS.

I don't see Caldera on your list!!!!  Niagara?  Incredible tub with Fiber Cor insulation, foot ridge, and Spa Frog inline sanitizer

I will talk to the HS dealer at lunch time tomorrow, and then the Jacuzzi Sundance dealer on Thursday probably. At least for once things are going my way. I already knew the sale was coming, but I finally saw Sundance's email "select models and options" and for once my choice of model and color is on the list!  Looking forward to finishing this process however it ends.

 To bad you can't see the side bets! ;)  And I wish I could read some of the emails to your HS dealer from?

 Well I won't list any names.  8)
