Hello everyone...long time lurker here. So, I have to replace my Caldera Moorea with a new tub, and my wife says it has to be a salt water system - she is REALLY sensitive to chemicals. The need for a salt water tub really limits my options. There is an 800-pount gorilla dealer in my region that carries both Caldera and Hot Spring (they are where I bought my Moorea, and my Hot Spring Soverign before that), so I feel a little frustrated that I really cannot shop price - since these are the guys who will also service the tub. The two tubs I am looking at are the Caldera Martinique and the Hot Spring Beam, and the prices (including ACE system) are:
Martinique - $8999 + tax
Beam - $8250 + tax
Includes all the usuals, delivery and removal of the old tub.
Looking at recent threads on this forum I have seen some silly prices for the Martinique (which is the one I am leaning towards), but I also understand that there may be other factors at play (floor demo, a particular dealer who needs to move some inventory, etc). I just want some confirmation that the above prices are solid prices from a quality dealer.
Thanks in advance!
