D1 or Hp Accolade

[38super]

Hi All
I am getting back into the hot tub after a long absence .
I had a Sundance carpi which I liked but had to sell with the house . Now looking for new hot tub . No Sundance dealers around here  . Have looked at two that fit the bill . One is the D1 Aurora ll dealer is asking $7495 with easy fold cover . The other is HS Accolade dealer asking $6788 . The accolade seemed wimpie next to the D1 .  
the D1 has 2 motors 30 jets all very large . The accolade looked nice and HS seems to get good reviews
Do $$$ very according to where you live . I am in North East . How do you know if you are being taken on price . any input would be great Thanks ....Will

Both very good spas.

Great price on the Accolade.  If you get really cold winters when you use your hot tub you will love the dishwasher-safe Tri-X filters.  No hose-dragging or bucket-filling in the snow.  It's a wonderful thing.

D1 is a good spa. So is HotSpring. Of Course I'm partial to the latter, however, go with the dealer who makes you feel the best. Prices seem in the ballpark for the HS, as I'm in the same region. Good Luck. Make sure you get a cover lifter.
