I prefer the seating layout in the Vanto versus the Reunion. Look at the Salina as well. Prices are good on those tubs. When you step up to paradise you have better jetting, more power, circ pump, and access to the freshwater salt system. Plus the component warranty goes from 2 up to 5 years.

The price on the Vanto is what I sell for.  Reunion is about a $1,000 less.  Those prices on the Aria and Sovereign are really really low.  I'm $2,500 more for either model.  The Sovereign and Aria are lounger models and the Vanto and Reunion are non-lounger models so you will have to decide what type of layout you want.

One other thing to keep in mind when you are pricing Caldera Versus Hot Springs. Is they each make 4 different cover lifters and 3 different steps. Which one is included in each quote. Steps could range from $200-$500 same with cover lifters. Also check and see what step and lifter comes with the Jacuzzi. Good thing is I don’t think you can really go wrong with any of your choices. The sovereign I believe is a single Jet Pump where the rest of the tubs you are looking at have dual water pumps.

That could be a smoking price on the Aria - depends on what's included. Salt system, ozone, both? Steps, cover, lifter? Castle and Hottub guy know best. I'm just speaking from recent experience.

I’m not a HS dealer but I would agree. I know what that tub is selling for near me and he’s about 4-5k under that.

Forgot to ask how are the jets in the Sovereign since it only has 1 pump compared to 2 with the Aria? Majority of the time will be just 2 of us.
