Welcome to our forum.
The 680 series from sundance and the 300 series from jacuzzi use identical insulation. The 300 series from jacuzzi has a circ pump. This is not quite a fair comparison since you are comparing jacuzzi’s mid series to sundances base series. Oh and fyi jacuzzi owns sundance. They has more things in common than not. Sundance has better jets once you get to their 780 series.
