We are in the market to replace our Sundance Optima. We have owned two Hot Spring’s Prior to the Sundance. We are looking at the Hot Spring Limelight Flare model and the Bullfrog A6L and will be wet testing them both later today. Both are 2019 models and we have bought our previous tubs from both dealers and think highly of each of them.
The Flare fits our patio best and orients with the best seating, views, and screening from neighbors. We also really like the aesthetic of it. I’ve already been quoted a price of $10,700 + tax for the tub, cover with lifter, steps, Freshwater Salt system (we have a saltwater pool and love it) start up, delivery and install. This also includes the trade value/haul-a-way of our old tub. We will be paying cash and I have not informed the dealer of that yet.
The Bullfrog does not line up as well with our patio and I may need to get rid of the lounger option and go with an A6 instead to make it fit properly. Still yet to get pricing on the Bullfrog but expect will do so after our wet test, assuming we like it.
I might also add that neither my wife, nor I, are fans of strong jets (her more so than me) and tend to soak after only a few minutes of hydrotherapy.
My immediate question is if the quoted price on the Flare is good? It’s still seems high to me. Also, can I expect a further discount for cash?
We’ll make a final decision for after wet test and out-the-door pricing but thought I would ask opinions on these two tubs and the pricing I have thus far. TIA.
