Welcome to our forum.
After 3 years I've narrowed it down to two. I'm in southeast Wisconsin.2005 Marquis Euphoria SA Floor Model$7500.00 w/cover, cover lift, steps, delivery and one year free chemicals. Verified good service record for dealer. Great seven year full warranty. I've wet-tested in neigbors 05 Euphoria.2005 Cal Spa C36 Bel Air Still in wrapper.$4700.00 w/cover, cover lift, steps, delivery and start-up chemicals.Dealer verified last night the five year full warranty. It's not pro-rated either. They do service themselves and he vowed to put in writing on invoice all of the above.My body is aching my friends. Your opinions?

Take the $2,700 and put it in some sort of investment. At the end of the five year warranty it could be worth 5k. Worst case you have to pay a $75.00 trip charge each year for the next 5 years for a total of $375.00 (that is if something goes bad EVERY year. It won't happen) If the price of the two units were 1k apart I would say go for the marquis, but for $2,700, GO CAL.
In your case the Cal is so much cheaper (I'm sure they know what the product is worth) that you could afford to get it with NO warranty and after replacing pumps and heaters you would still be money ahead.Something to think about.
