Yes... I got sold up from the Sundance Bahia $ 6,700 to the D-1 Lotus Bay at $ 9,200... the dealer reduced the price another $ 300 yesterday. I realize that there is $ 2,500 difference, but I really liked the features, kidney style, 72 Jets and theraputic seats in the Lotus Bay. The Bahia is a very nice spa, but the value pricing on the Lotus Bay ended up swaying my decision.
The Lotus Bay Model was a close out special on a 2005 Model, brand new with full factory warranty. They had the model on the showroom floor and ready for immediate delivery. I also got a cover, E-Z Lifter, start up chemicals, free delivery & set up.
I hope that I made the right decision, but I figured that the extra money will be worth it over the long run. The Sundance Optima was about the same price, so we ruled it out and gravitated to the D-1 Lotus Bay Model.
Thank you to everyone for their comments... they were very helpful !!
