You are comparing Bullfrog's large entry level line to at LEAST the mid-level lines to luxury lines of everything else. I'd at least be looking at an R8L if you are comparing Bullfrog to the rest.Also, go with a great dealer!
Welcome to the forum. You have an amazing amount of choices. Feel free to stop in and just look at each one multiple times. I've often felt dealers get a little more open as they see you are a serious buyer and actively comparing. It can be then that offers drop.
The Marquis 660 is a great spa and I wouldn't be concerned about the base. It has a polysheet plastic bottom that is sealed better than most tubs. It has a very powerful pump/jet system and one of the nicest layouts in the market with the multi-level seating and footwell room.
Looks like you have a great selection. I’m not a Jacuzzi dealer so I may be incorrect but isn’t the base on the J300 Series the same as the marquis 660. As a Marquis dealer and a Caldera dealer I can say you are getting great prices on both the Reward and the Geneva. X Series bullfrog is the only one of these option that I don’t really think belongs in this conversation. Good tub but the others listed are a step up. R series or A series would be more comparable. As far as price on the 660 it could be good or a bit high. On that series Marquis pretty much everything is a option. So if it has full foam, lighting upgrade, cover companion, matching step, spa frog, ozone then that’s a pretty good price for that tub. It’s actually one of my favorite Marquis tubs especially for families due to the multi level seating in itQuote from: shpion1 on October 17, 2017, 07:34:04 pmSo I've been doing lots of research and am down to the few to wet test.
