I apologize in advance. I know there has been a lot of discussion about new purchases but I have a couple of more specific question.
What we are considering
A
Coast spas
55 jets
foot jets
2 year warranty
2 pumps
$10 500
B
Arctic Spas
45 jets
no foot jets
5 year warranly
3 pumps
Better Dealer
$13 000
I guess the question is how important is the warranty? If I can expect to call on the warranty I suppose I want the better warranty and Dealer but it is a big chunk of money to get it.
One of question if how important is the number of jets. Another option at a better price is an Arctic Spa with only 30 jet. The price is closer and I would still get the better Dealer and warranty.
Thanks in advance.

You spend 10 grand on a spa with a 2 year warranty, your crazy. Either way you might look at another brand other than Arctic. Arctic does build a nice spa though.

The number of jets doesn't matter at all. It's how the jets feel. You really do need to do a wet test to determine which feels better, although if it were me I wouldn't be interested in a Coast Spa. Should also qualify that by saying I'm not an expert. Just read some things about Coast some time ago that I didn't like, and also didn't like their salesperson when we looked at them.

Jim, I stated the warranty wrong. The cheaper one (Coast) has a three year warranty not two. I am not sure I understand your point though. Warranty should be a major factor?

Of all the things you list, the only important thing for comparison purposes is the WARRANTY (and how the spa feels to you).
