Welcome to our forum.
Those are great points. Both are up and running and seem to be working fine. The Vita comes with a cover lift so I probably wouldn't need a Caddy for it. Here is a link for it:http://greenville.craigslist.org/for/3221965993.html I am starting to think it might be worth the extra $700.
Looks really nice, I'd for sure go with this over the Dream Maker; unless some spa repair place told me they've seen lots of issues with these units. Nice shape, nice redwood color, cover looks great - really nice from the photos. That cover lift alone is likely around $150-$200 and he has the "old folks" senior railing to assist you in getting in - so no need worry about slipping and breaking a hip while getting in... J
or even if your young and had 1 to many cocktails in the tub the handrail is nice
