Welcome to our forum.
Any thoughts on the Hot Springs color palate? I think I like the Pearl/redwood combo best but the dealer has a sterlingmarble/expresso Vanguard in stock. I will not need to wait if we go with the in stock tub. Any negatives with the expresso outer casing or sterling interior?
Obviously the colro only matters to teh person buying but keep in mind that 23 hrs a day the spa is in the yard with the cover on. Personally I'd pay more attention to the color of the siding and cover than of the shell for this reason.
We have a very light colored shell in our Vanguard, I don't remember the actual name, but an advantage of a light color is when a piece of junk gets in it is very easy to see. if we get a bit of a 'residue' line it barely shows, we have to feel it usually. Disadvantage of a light color shell is when a piece of junk gets in its easy to see. So a light color pro/con is a toss up.
