You are wrong ..I was in a 110 life smart with only 1.5hp pump and the jets felt good ..I was also in a hot springs grandee 2 weeks ago and there is a difference but IMO not an 8k difference
For you the Lifesmart makes more sense, for someone else the Grandee makes more sense. Its just like someone buying a $15k car really shouldn't question why someone else buys a $30k car arguing both get you from point A to point B, are about the the same in size, so therefore why wouldn't everyone get teh $15k car. To each his won, thats why Watkins makes Hot Spring, Limelight, Hot Spots, Freeflow... not everyone is looking for the same level spa, whats right for one person isn't for another.
