We're still working on a first time tub decision, but getting mighty close to deciding. Our budget is 6-8K for everything. We've wet tested a slew of models and are down to a decision between the D1 Californian and the Marquis 530 Ultimate. The wet tests were pretty much a wash (ahem...
) and the D1 seems to win on warranty and (mildly) on dealer proximity and friendliness-- though it ends up being at the top of that range, while the 530 is in the middle.
Anybody want to provide some advice on technical aspects? Filtration systems? Personal experience?
