Jacuzzi J-345 vs. Hot Springs Aria

[cbdawes]

Hi All,
I have owned a Sundance Optima for the past 11 years, but am moving to an area without a Sundance dealer, so need to find another option.  I've narrowed it down to the Jacuzzi J-345 or the. Hot Springs Aria.  The Aria is about $3K more and has lots of bells and whistles I don't really need such as fountains.  My primary use is therapeutic to treat arthritis and back / neck issues, which the Sundance handles well.  Can anyone give me opinions on the power of each of these spas?  Or recommend another powerful option?  I originally wanted to get a smaller spa, but couldn't find one that had enough power/jets.  Any advice is greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

  Both are nice spas!  That being said I have never sat in the HS.    I do know that the J-345 rocks, and you wouldn't be disappointed. I sold a chit load of them.
