Both are very good spas. warranty's are comparable, coleman does have more jets and a third 2.5 hp pump, 56 frame. all three pumps are two speed. the key as already stated is to wet test, only true way to see what you like best. either way you are getting an awesome spa. are you buying the spa for filtration or massage? most will say massge, the coleman filter in some peoples opinion may not be as good as hot springs but it does what is it is suposed to do: keep the water clean.
