Welcome to our forum.
And the new 30th Anniversary 'Aria' model comes with the sound system built in and every other bell and whistle for around ten or eleven.8-)
We are getting $9500 to $10,000 for the Aria in northern CA
Hands down go with the Aria. Better filtration, insulation, better variety of jets. $9500 is a great price for the Aria. There really is no comparison in quality, you'll be alot happier in the long run with a Hotsprings. Aria--consumers digest buy of the year.
