Welcome to our forum.
Good Lord! No comparing the J-365 to the limelight series, though most HS dealers would like to believe Look at the difference and size in jets and how it feels when running, the filtration 2 60sqft vs one 50sqft, std clearray system, the "silent" high flow circ pump that yes does run 24hrs a day, two divertor handles for more water control. Sit in them both and let a wet test decide which you like better.. Not to mention a few more color options to offer.
I should add the limelight series is a a nice line, but when it comes down to the funtion of the spas to the Jacuzzi 300 series it doesn't match up on features. More in the 200 series with circ added which is an option and a 2 year lesser warranty. Sounds like you are doing your homework!
I hadn't considered either of those models, looks like the warranty is pretty much identical on the 300 series and the vanguard though. Can you share objectively about what in your opinion would justify the extra expense of the Hot Spring? I really want to know

Sounds like you are doing your homework! your saying a 200 series with a 2 yr warranty is comparable to a limelight with a 5yr warranty that sells in the 8,500-9,000k range??? doh'kay...again looking foolish, look at the specs, jet counts, pump sizes, warranty on Limelight is IDENTICAL to the 300 series

Jet wise "type" not how many 44 in the 280/275 are pretty much the same, basic component jet found in many many spa's. Filtration wise limelight is 65 sqft not 50 my bad again. The J-280 90X90X37 with a 95 sqft filter, circ pump is an option like I mentioned, led lights are close, you guys just put more holes in your shells below the water line. Stainless is std. Pump wise they are different 1 2.5 and 1 2hp so yes by adding a the circ pump and adding 3 years to the warranty I would say they line up to the limelight in many ways. Except the price we sell the 280 at 7800.00 with circ and an additional warranty. Oh and
