I dont know the real story, but I was told that my original dealer was dropped by Calspa for not selling enough units. This was told to me by the dealer that took over for a short time. (Sounds like tough times may have caused Calspa to drop him!) He is now selling Artesian Spas from what the sign says.
The dealer that took over was selling Sundance all along. Calspa wanted them to devote half of their floor space to the line and this dealer would not agree to do that so he dropped Calspa in favor of keeping Sundance. Now the Marquis dealer is carrying the Calspa line from what I was told but I havent visited them yet to verify.
Hope this clears up any confusion.
