On the marquis would you step up to Hollywood elite at 7000 or a v84 for 8100. And microsilk for 1200 more

Elite. But that is just me. Try them both and see what you like. What options for the 7k. That price is real low. Then again a lot of the prices I see on here are crazy low

The 6800 to 7000 quote depending on which salesman ur talking to is just as is, no options. Is it full foam and also is artesian artic pac insulation any good?

That makes more sense then. I include full foam, spa frog, lighting package, step and lifter. Not sure exact price but I know it’s somewhere in the $8300-$8500 range. No idea on Arctic pac insulation

That's just full foam for the artesian.  It's definitely worth having.

I believe the dealer said arcticpac wasn't full foam just some foam on the bottom and some insulation inside the walls. Their brochure says arcticpac is standard and full foam is an upgrade. I've also been known to be wrong. A lot. Thanks again all

I would jump on the Hollywood Elite at that price, they’re giving it away.  Most parts of the country that spa is $8995+ depending on what it comes with. Country Homes is a very reputable, long time Marquis dealer.

I gave you bad information.  I apologize.  You are correct.  I didn't realize they had a name for their non-full foam.  We always do full foam so I was unaware.  I think it's important to go full foam, but that model it should be standard as stated above.

Sorry for the mixup.

Looked at bullfrog r6 at 6999 thru costco now and wondering if 1 2.5 pump is enough. Did not seem very powerful to the touch also no real feet jets.also wondering if the dome jets in the bottom of some tubs are a tripping hazard? Thanks again

Last item is putting 2" open cell foam pad under tub, over patio slab worth it? That's all folks

The R6L has plenty of power for most people with one pump, but there is a new option to add a second jet pump which makes it crazy powerful.  Most people don't need it but I like as much power as I can get.

As for the foam, I don't have any hard data but I suspect it's definitely worth it on a raised deck.  Not sure what it would do on a concrete pad but it's not expensive stuff so why not.
