Sundance 680 Hartford vs Jacuzzi J-345

[corpbender]

So i have been everywhere and spoke to all of the dealers in my area.  After taking advice from what I have learned here I have narrowed it down to two selections.  I have basically been given the price of 6500 for a Sundance Hartford and the Jacuzzi J-345.  Both tubs seem pretty comparable in size.  Can anyone give me any opinions in a straight comparison of the two?  The Hartford has more jets, but from what I have read, that may not make much of a difference if the jets are quality. 

The Jacuzzi comes with a stereo system, but I would have to wait until the first week in July to get it...

corp,
I have the Jaacuzi J 375 (same but have lounger) LOVE IT !!! love jacuzzi jets , did u wet test them , its a MUST before spending that much money.. My tub was around $10k so sounds like a good price if its $6500 ... I also called Jacuzzi about 10 x with questions and loved their customer service ...

Just went out again to see the tubs one last time.  The 6500 for the Sundance was the 2010 floor model.  We went in and spent some time and got the dealer to order us a 2011 model in the colors that we wanted for our backyard for the same price.  After getting in them, I decided I loved the Sundance Hawthorne.  I am a bigger guy at 6'2 and the lounger fit me perfectly.  As both Jacuzzi and Sundance are excellent brands it really came down to the dealer that we were most comfortable with and the Sundance won out.  I am sure that both have their advantages but I felt the Sundance was for me.
