Well I guess as I am, most here are looking for info and advice rather than dispensing.
We were able to see all the hot tubs last night as the Viking-Marquis dealer was staying open late (til 6 pm) and so we called and asked if they would wait for us to get there and they did. We met one of the owners and her husband and both were very knowledgeable and helpful. I knew I would like doing business with them.
First we hit the Sundance dealer and decided that the Dover just wouldn't do, so it had to be the Capri which is an excellent and comfortable tub with all the bells and whistle we hoped for. The dealer, who is also the GM of the store was great, knowledgable and gave us really good advice about the tubs and even some pool/solar advice we needed. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this place to anyone deciding that a Sundance is for them.
We made our way up to the Marquis/Viking dealer and are very pleased that they agreed to stay open for us. Dry testing both, the Marquis Spirit won hands down for us. It is a great little spa and the lounger was just perfect for Mr. Krsy. The Spirit comes with 2 electric and motor pump choices and we are going with larger 240V.
Now, waking up this morning I am confident with our choice still (Mr. Krsy said he already knew it last night
) so we will be pulling the trigger on this one. Yay, now I can move on with the other renovations we have. I will come back and post pictures when all is done and in place. Although I didn't get much input it did help coming here and reading posts (learned a lot) and just writing all my thoughts down helped clear things in my mind, so all is good.
Thanks and happy hunting to all out there in their quest for the perfect (for them) spa!
