First off...just wanted to say what a great forum and resource this message board is, glad I was able to find it to help in my hunt for the perfect (for me) tub. When I started my search a couple of months ago I really had no idea about tubs other than they were hot and had jets! haha I visited a few places and started to learn more and then found this forum with it's wealth of knowledge and experience and that really helped me narrow my search to two specific brands, Hot Springs and Jacuzzi.
Fortunately both are great brands and have tubs that I really liked and I recently was able to narrow down my choices to the HS Sovereign and Jacuzzi J 355. Both have a lounge seat which is important to me and have enough space where I could entertain a few people when necessary. Both are quality tubs backed by a solid brand and I feel good about both dealers as they both employ their own spa tech and have been in business for a while in good standing by the reviews I can find.
So, my question is, do the gurus here see one advantage or consideration to keep in mind with either of these tubs that I need to keep in mind? Any personal experiences to share with either of these?
Just trying to do my due diligence and turn over all the stones before plunking down $9k so I appreciate the input!
Thanks!
