Welcome to our forum.
I looked at the Hotsprings Pulse, Grandee and Sundance Optima (among others) , and ultimately went with the Optima. They were all fairly close, but it came down to a combination of: - layout: I disliked the use of space in the grandee. the placement of the filter removes an entire corner. It also had no foot dome, which was important to me. - I liked the sundance water care options better than hot springs. Mineral cartridge + UV + (aftermarket) Ozone = less chlorine. Hot springs is Ozone only, i think.- Wasn't sold on the moto massage. Didn't feel as powerful as the optima.
