Welcome to our forum.
Why didn't HS add some thigh jets (for jocks with hamstring problems) to the Aria lounge? In fact, HS as well as most mfgs have very few thigh jets in any of their models. Why is this as it seems that muscle group needs as much therapy if not more than the calves? I think that is a major oversight on the part of a lot of spa companies. Conversely, the Costco Platinum III once again looks great on paper. Actually, this is HydroSpa's Sterling Leisure line - Desire model - which has an MSRP of $9895 (quoted directly by Hydrospa) but could probably be purchased at $8k at a dealer? It will be interesting to see what Costco will sell it for, but if I heard correctly, will retail for about $5k. Now what you have to ask yourself is the difference simply dealer markup or a difference in mfg components, process, etc?.
Term, did you ever get a chance to kick it, jump on it, and give it a test run? I would love to hear your comments as you seem to be an experience HotSprings dealer. Thanks in advance.

It's always been many people's contention that thigh/calf jets in lounges can tend to increase your chances of floating with their upward thrust. if not for that they sound great but lounges are so tricky in the first place I'd be even more wary without a wet test.

I had not thought of the floating problem, spatech. Thanks for the reminder. But don't you think a designer could come up with a slightly reclined seat that has an elevated floor section, thereby "picking" the thighs up off the bottom of the seat, and eliminating the floating problem? My Tundra has 2 thigh jets in one of the corner seats and none of my family members (including my petite wife) have any difficulties.
I just question whether the big box store kind of spa designs do much mroe than make a spa look good in a picture.

Wes I believe Vita spa makes a tub that has what you're talking about. It's called the Cabaret. Here's a pic.
Chad, thanks for your post. That seat is exactly what I was referring to. Vita makes some interesting models with a lot of different jet configurations and styles.
