While it's great that Artesian is backing their warranty, I would have some concern with any tub that has "lost" 5 jets!!
I do own the Cayman with with the circ pump option. I believe that reguardless of which configuration you get, this is one option you should get. This option comes with the same heater as the gold and platinum lines (at least in 2004 and 2005) and the circ pump is not a tiny one but a huge one (240 volt).Some nice things about it are: most seats have their own air control, there are different levels of seating and the jets are powerful. I don't know how the 32 jet configuration is plumbed but the 56 jet has the ability to have every person in the tub get therapy.Do try to wet test the neck jet seats though since at 6' tall, I just fit into one seat and not the other.I think it's a great tub, only problem so far is that I lost 5 jets (one at a time) but they have been replaced under warranty. When shopping for the tub, I was going to "upgrade" to the gold series Emerald because of the greater warranty on the gold. My dealer said that the components on the Island were the same as the higher end ones and not to worry about it.Do you have any specific questions?
