Hello,
I have been reading here a couple of weeks and have not seen this subject directly addressed.
Just bought a 235 and want to see if there is anything additional in difference between these jacuzzi series. I am aware of the different jets, circ pump, bottom pan construction, and warantee. I just could not justify the $2200 difference since we already were pushing our desired price point to get to the jacuzzi. I started out thinking 4k at costco would be it, then we went to a watsons and were over 5k for a cabana cove spa we almost bought. The 235 is just a few hundred more than the cabana cove and I feel more comfortable with the jacuzzi name and hopefully build quality.
Do you really give up much of the "jacuzzi experience" with the 200 series jets? And is it safe to assume the build quality that comes with jacuzzi is still there in their entry level products?
