Well, after a month of searching I finally bought my tub today. I was at the Artesian dealer wet testing the Saba to get a feel for the jets. Due the cost I was planning on ordering a lower model Saba and then buy a cover lift on line. To my suprise the salesman says "you know I have a new shipment coming in and if you would buy this floor model I will make you a good deal". So, I ended up getting the Saba 46 jet model with the stainless steel jet heads upgrade and Covermate III cover lift (hydralic) for $7,000 out the door (this included taxes). The tub had been on sale for $7,000 so I figure with taxes and coverlift I got about $1,000 off. I will post again after I have owned a while and let you know what I think. Thanks to all on this forum for your help.
