Welcome to our forum.
What about upgrading to the "Ultimate" package with a Marquis Everyday vs. the standard Marquis (Reward or Quest)? As for the Quest, it comes with 115V but can be upgraded to 230V. (Is this something to avoid? I've already got wiring for 220/50amp service.) Speaking of that, if I buy one that doesn't include its own GFCI subpanel, will I need to replace the emergency box that was mounted outside next to my old Sundance - or can I continue to use that?
Chris One thing that concerns me with Watkins is that while they seem to make consistently reliable tubs, I've encountered rants from people who have the occasional "lemon" or "problem child" tub, and these folks seem generally to be very dissatisfied with Watkins' ball-dropping abilities. I haven't seen similar comments about Marquis (though I suspect there are many more Watkins tubs out there, so more opportunities for the occasional problem).
Watkins advertises on this site. It does not own this site.
I've visited several retailers, read web pages and poked around these types of forums. As most of you can appreciate, I'm trying to make a good decision about how to best spend about $6k, and I'm looking for help in doing so.
