Welcome to our forum.
There is a significant difference in quality between the two...you will get what you pay for and this will be more apparent down the road. Wood vs steel...They will both stand the life of the tub so really no negatives either way there.The new Envoy is not released yet to my knowledge and apparently the dealer has no more 2013's Envoys in stock but they are or will be in production very soon...I'll check on the release and let you know about the Envoy.I own both a 2014 HS and a MAAX in another home and I will say that there is a difference but the price sets them apart and not that the MAAX is bad but lesser for sure...I'm not disappointed in my MAAX for what I paid for it in my rental home but Honestly I don't use it myself and woiuldn't buy one over the HS for my own personal use...That's just me.I am a HS dealer.

Seems that you are much more aware than my local dealer. This is really upsetting if this is true that they are available. I'll get to the bottom of that. Thanks again for the info as I thought it was strange since the HS website has them. The local dealer said they must not have updated their site as of yet when I said the are up there.Again, if you know the MSRP that would be great. Thanks again!
Maybe send a complaint to the BBB on that Dealer.
