Hey Pathfinder
As a relative newbie to hottubbing as well (one-year) all I can say is to search this site extensively for answers to your question. There are alot of pros on this forum who have gone through all the debates at one point of time or another. Sometimes this becomes so exhausting that they (natually) become hesitant on re-engaging the arguement.
From my standpoint, I would look into the HP pump argument a little futher, and you will quickly see that there is more than one way to measure quality. You may also learn that this (HP) is often used as a sales tactic to draw in those who do not recognize the difference.
Good luck
Jc
