hot spring grandee txt vs. D1 nautilus vs others

[kmend]

actively shopping for a large hot tub.  Really like the grandee but can't figure if its worth an extra $3000 in price over the D1 nautilus.  Wondering if theres other brands worth looking at?

You might take a look at the Marquis Epic, Euphoria, or V94.

D1, Hot Springs, Sundance, Caldera, Bullfrog, Jacuzzi, Marquis are all great brands that are worth your consideration.

If you have an Artesian Spas dealer in your area:  Try the 965L from South Seas Spas or Isla Margarita in Artesian Spas Island/Island Elite spas line. 

Everyone else's suggestions are crap. 

Just kidding- This is a great forum with some generally knowledgeable people who are on here answering questions.  They are waaaay more knowledgeable than I.  If you zero in on one or two models, toss them out and you'll get some great feedback. 

Good luck moving forward.

Well first off you are not comparing apples to apples hence the price difference. You are comparing a mid tier D1 to a top tier hot spring. There are ton of benefits you get from a top tier Hot Spring over the D1. You may want to invest some more time into researching these two models. PM if you need more info. Good luck.
