So I have been looking at the Viking Aurora III and the Sundance Capri. Both are very similar is size/layout - 2-3 person.
The best price I have gotten on the Viking is $4500 for everything (cover, delivery, etc.,.) For the Sundance, the best price is $7500.
Now I know the Sundance is a much better unit - its the 880 series. But $3000 more is alot. At the end of the day, they both have the same number of jets and power. Yeah, the Sundance has the dual stage filter, the Viking has just a single filter - but its such a small tub to begin with I'm sure a single filter is fine.
I just want a tub that will last 10-15 years with good owner maintenance over those years. If I can get that with the Viking, then the extra $3000 for Sundance is a waste. Problem is I cant find alot of reviews on Vikings. The local dealer (who also sells Sundance, Coast, and Cal Spas) says the Viking is great and real work horse and will last.
Any input?
Thanks
John
