Welcome to our forum.
Just an update since my first post...I wet tested the Hot Spring Envoy, Sundance Optima, Bullfrog A8, and the Marquis Epic. My top 2 are the Epic (or comparable Show) and the Envoy. My favorite is the Marquis because I feel in love with the adirondack seat and the incredible leg jets! I didn't want to get out of that seat. The Envoy is very nice, I just felt the jets weren't as impressive. The Envoy is a very pretty and well designed tub, which I appreciate.So, my dilemma comes back to the question of the dealer experience. I have some reservations about the Marquis dealer, although I will say the saleswoman I dealt with yesterday was pleasant. The Hot Spring dealer has gone above and beyond in being very proactive, although I'm sure part of it is to get the sale. Does anyone have any experience in buying a Marquis in North GA? I feel like the Marquis is my favorite tub, but do I sacrifice that for a better dealer experience? It seems this one dealer is the only option in my area.
