Hot Spring makes a good tub, the only thing I don't like about the Sovereign is that it is pretty much at the top of the price scale for 1 pump spas (ie not as good of a "value" in my mind, that is just my personal .02 others opinions may vary on that specific point) so if you plan on having 3 or 4 people in the spa on a regular basis and at the same time have "strong" jet pressure than I would explore other options, if its just you and a spouse than its not much of a concern. Good Luck!
