Welcome to our forum.
I am located in NY, I bought a 2014 Sovereign last April, love the tub, easy to maintain and runs great. I would not go for the salt option, chlorine is a time and time again working option, if something is not broke, don't fix it. Less is more. By the time all said and done, I was about 10k, I got the high end steps, worth every penny. It has been cold in NY, so still hitting the tub hard, do you use it in the summer, not as much, but its nice to have, when needed. You can't go wrong with Hot Springs.
good pricing...ACE at that cost is a good deal...ignore the "I can only use my brain if Google helps me" crowd and find a good sales guy to explain how to start the system up and maintain it properly and you'll have great success...if educated/sold properly the system has been working wonderful for us and we've been selling them with almost 75% of our models that are capable of having the system as an option

I've also heard that those necessary vanishing act pillows are like $75 each. Seems like a very expensive system, that in the end only prevents you from having to manually add chlorine, since saltwater spas are just chlorine spas.

Lets be honest here, most of the clientele buying these spas spend $800 on lawncare costs every month
