My wife and I have narrowed our search down to two Spas. I prefer the Marquis SA Reward and she prefers the Bullfrog 552 with slightly upgraded Jetpacks.
Some history:
After much research I am firmly convinced the Marquis is a better tub overall and the Bull frogs have a clever gimick.
After wet testing, my wifes only complaints about the Marquis are the jets push her out of the seats and the level of the seats can be a bit high in the deeper seats. In the Bullfrog I have the opposite, the seats all feel the same length/depth and I am just a bit too tall to sit under the neck units. She is 5'1" I am 6'1".
The prices are comparable. I would like to make my wife happy and consider her choice again.
My questions:
Bullfrog has been on the market a while but never seems to make anyones list of "top spas." In fact it is difficult to find any opinions on them at all. With this very different approach, where is the discussion?
With the movable JetPacks, Bullfrog states your tub will never be out of date. Bullfrog is almost 10 years old, have there ever been new jetpacks?
The Warranty on the Bullfrog is split into several areas, some have lifetime warranties. The Marquis seems to have one of the best in the business. Can someone with some experience tell me if Bullfrog has such a complicated warranty to avoid paying for common fixes?
For the folks that have the Bullfrogs (there must be some?!?) How often do you use the jets? How often do you switch them around? If you purchased again, would you pay for different jetpacks up front?
For the service guys, what would you say about the quality of manufacture and the ease/price to service?
I know its a lot, but with the cost of spas, I would like to know we can both feel we got a great tub!

My appologies to the folks that visit pooland spa forums for the duplicate post, this site seems to have many repeat offenders!
