I can't believe some of the prices people are paying for their hot tubs. My husband and I just bought a Bahia two weeks ago and we love it. We got it complete for 5499.00. This included steps, cover, cover lift and start up chemicals. We use Baqua Spa. They even threw in extra spinner jets which you can change out with the fixed jets if you want, and the LED light. Their price on the Optima was 7200. We didn't even try it because it was over our budget, but We love our Bahia for 1,800 less. You'll love the turbo jet in the middle of the footwell which the Optima doesnt have. This tub is easy to use,not a bunch of fancy buttons, bells and whistles we would probably never need. If you're not into spending the extra bucks, go with the Bahia and do something fun with the money you'll save. But if money is no object, go for the Optima. It is a classy looking spa too.
