Ok, the Artesian Dealer just sent me several options in the Island and South Seas lines. What's the consensus on Artesian? The dealer is a long time dealer good with the BBB
Quote from: Roger Wilkerson on November 14, 2017, 11:20:06 pmsounds like the Marquis is the favorite. I had written off HS and Caldera for budget reasons. I had a local Caldera dealer tell me to take my money and go to Home Depot or Costco because I couldn't afford his product line. I did find another Caldera dealer and surprise surprise they have 2 tubs that fit my criteria and budget, the Marino and Vanto.Any feedback on those tubs?I sell Marquis and Caldera. If you can get the E435 for the same price as a Marino or Vanto you are better off with the Marquis. The 435 with two pumps therapy wise will blow those Calderas away. The E Series is more inline with the Paradise series from Caldera. Nothing wrong with either Caldera but you are getting a real good deal on that Marquis. If size is a issue that would be the only reason to consider the Caldera

Hopefully the best spa in your eyes will also be the best price at the same time (or close to it) but that's not always the case. Pricing is important of course but make sure you get the right spa for you because what you buy will be in your yard for a decade plus and that feeling that you saved money lessens over time especially if you second guess yourself down the line about the spa you ended up with. I'm not standing up for or against any particular brand/model, I'm just saying that FOR ME the right spa takes precedence over the best price IFFFF the 2 conflict.
Well Northwinds out, just don't the higher end of a lower line tub plus the dealer has changed places 5 times in 3 years.The Marquis is out, no follow up from the dealer and just not comfortable with the dealerThe D1 Dream is going to be wet tested on TuesdayThe Artesian Island Nevis 45 is being wet tested this weekend.Likely going to test the Caldera Marino alsoI have a guy trying to get me to look at Vita Spas but not sure it's worth an hour drive with the other options on the table.Does anyone know if the Caldera's have any sort of air injection to improve the therapy value?Thanks
