Hi..... wondering if there are any recent Caldera Elation shoppers/buyers out there? What is a good price for an Elation? We looked at one last nite and were given a price of apprx 8,500 incl delivery, chems, steps, cover/lifter. I believe these are 2005 (no chrome/stainless covers on jets) and silver pearl color (this color is not shown in 2006 brochure). I asked the saleswoman but she said the stainless/chrome jets were on a different manuf (Dimension 1), not a 2005 v 2006 difference. We've been leaning toward Sundance Optima but have held off purchasing. Looked at Caldera as I've read good things about them posted here. Wet testing Elation tonight. Also looking for any feedback others may have on Optima vs Elation such as quality etc. (beyond the stereo/lounger/lights/footdome/ozone/footdome differences). In advance, Thanks.
find out EXACTLY how old the spa is. Watkins starts ticking off the warranty at one year after the invoice date.QuoteHi..... wondering if there are any recent Caldera Elation shoppers/buyers out there?

I wouldn't let the stainless jets affect your purchase...unless you just love them. Remember you will probably use the spa at night, plus you'll be sitting AGAINST the jets not looking at them. With the water action no one can tell if jets are chromed or not.

With the water action no one can tell if jets are chromed or not. I hear ya but it just doesn't work that way. Waterfalls are another one that are exerywhere now and all it does is add some cost to the spa and some visual appeal IMO but i guess it matters to many on that showroom floor. Many of us wonder why customers care about chrome jets and waterfalls and other seemingly extraneous items in the spa but ...
