So I'm looking for something from a quality brand that is sold by a dealer decently proximate to me. Looks like Bullfrog, Hot Springs, and Jacuzzi are the brands that fit the bill. That said, I'm having trouble making sure that what I'm looking at matches what I think I need out of my spa. I have yet to do any wet testing as I wrap my head around the options.
Essentially, I want a quality brand for the durability, but not too many bells and whistles. I could theoretically go smaller that the models I listed in the title, but I like the option of at least every once in a while having more than two people in the spa, and some of the ones smaller than what I've listed, like the Bullfrog R5L, look too small for any more than three.
So, all that said, does anyone have any thoughts on the models listed? I know that one huge factor is going to be the wet test and then the quality of the dealer. I'm a bit afraid with the quality of the dealer issue, since around me there don't seem to be many options.
EDIT: Also going to add in Sundance Edison/Peyton, which I found at a decently close dealer. Said they were $6,200 after a quick call.
