Welcome to our forum.
I have an R7 on order... supposed to be here by the end of the week. I bought it during the "Labor Day Sale" that it seems everyone was having.R7, ozone, circ pump, cover, delivered and taxed - $8200. Will also get $500 rebate from Bullfrog, so final cost of $7700. From what I've read here and other places, I got a decent deal. Seems like anything under $9K is considered reasonable for the R7.I didn't get a lifter or steps included.. I wasn't wild about the lifters they were using, so I ordered a Covermate III separately for $200. Steps I'll make myself as I have a vision of steps that wrap around into a bar. Gotta put those old woodshop/cabinet maker skills back to work.We also wanted neck jets as my wife and I both carry tension there. I also have a crap shoulder due to a motorcycle accident. I really thought the Neck Blaster was gonna be the ticket, but the neck jets are too weak in proportion to the back jets... hardly notice them. But the Neck Masseuse... Oh Baby! We liked it so much we ordered two so we don't have to share it I also got a Gyrosage and she liked the Rainshower. I would have got the Ocilator if the jets were about 1 inch closer together... or if I was about 2 inches wider.
Congrats. Did the dealer show you that the neck blaster and masseuse have 2 adjust valves on them?

Neck Blaster, the top valve controls neck jets, bottom controls the whole pack... so when reducing the back jets, the neck jets also reduce power. Even with neck jets wide open, the back jets were just too much. I really wanted to like that one. If they could make the valves control the back jets and the neck jets individually, then it would be a winner IMO.The Neck Masseuse has few neck jets, but they are strong. Also has the gyro jets in the back, which I like.

does your dealer build pools or sell other items? I wouldn't expect pricing like this all over the country, if we were selling R7's for $7,700 w/ delivery and accessories included we would be out of business so either your dealer does INCREDIBLE volume or he makes money selling pools or something else allowing him to keep margins on spas very low
