Not really an apples to apples comparison, the Hollywood is Marquis entry level line where the Vanguard is in the top Highlife Collection. Is the Vanguard from an authorized Hot Spring dealer? If so inquire about whether Warranty has started on the spa already but ya the Vanguard will have better fit and finish overall, better topside control, better insulation, longer warranty, etc. as far as if you 'value' it more I would recommend a wet test to see if the jets are worth the extra money in your eyes...Good Luck
