Welcome to our forum.
You have selected three of the better spas out there...I think when someone gives you an opinion about them it will be tough for them not to be biased....The wet test should help YOU decide...Last year I started as a shopper for my spa and this year I am a Marquis dealer...I feel they offer as much value....quailty....therapy as any spa you will find....I think their warranty is very tough to beat...but you will have decide which spa best fits your needs....again all three are fine spas.....
It also explains why the Euphoria may be a little cheaper. Few companies compare to the service responsibility of Watkins. The thing the marquis warranty has that the HS doesn't is transferrability. If you are going to sell your hot tub in the next 5-7 years then, with a Marquis, you can transfer the warranty to the person who buys it from you.This is an important feature for marquis owners who need to sell their tubs in the first few years to run out and buy a Hot Spring. -Edps. For cripe's sake, I'm making a JOKE
First let me say I own the HS Landmark which is basically the same size as the Grandee with a little different seating arrangement....I just went and did a comparison on the size of the Euphoria compared with the Grandee.The Euphoria is 7.5 x 7.5 with a depth of 34 inches. It holds 400 gallons of water. Seats 7
The Grandee is 7'7" x 8'4" with a depth of 38 inches. It holds 500 gallons of water. Seats 7The Grandee gives you an extra foot of size, 4 more inches of depth and 100 more gallons of water. I, personally, can't see 7 adults in either of these tubs unless it is you and 6 of your girlfriends(Hef), but if you had to try, I would say they would be more comfortable in the larger deeper tub. You may want to take this into consideration when deciding based on how tall you are as well. My neighbor's wife almost drowns in my Landmark...LOL...
Personally I prefer the biggest deepest tub I can find. I am 6'4" so being able to totally stretch out is important to me. With the Grandee you will be very comfortable when it is just you and a significant other and you will also have plenty of room for your friends to all come over and enjoy your tub.Just my 2 cents....
The interior depth of the Euphoria is 34 inches which is just about the same if not more than the GrandeeI does not give you 4 more inches of depth nor is it a "foot" bigger, do the math. The Grandee eats up a portion of the interior with the massive filter alcove and the jet niches for the moto massage jets thereby requiring it to be bigger to support 7 people. BTW, those 7 people can different heights and set in different positions in the water with the variable seating in the euphoria.We have had 7 in the Euphoria in the store more than once!The beauty of the Euphoria is that it doesn't just take one person into consideration nor does it limit your seating possibilities! There are a whole lot more options of jet configuration and seating than most spas.In addition to these things the Euphoria has a more inclusive warrenty and will cost less to own over time.

judging from that pic( I have never seen one in person) there is no way you are getting 7 adults in that Euphoria....where would all the legs and feet go???
