Welcome to our forum.
Hello Northwoods, You are going to love your Summit! It is a great spa, and really comfortable. As far as the electronics are concerned, don't be! The spa is under warranty for at least five years parts and labor. Yes our spas come with two options for electronics, but usually that is not something that we offer, because you (the customer) will never tell the difference between the two. I think the service guy is more concerned! If the dealer is offering you an option, than the Global Pack is the way to go. It has a couple of really neat features that may come in handy after your warranty, including removable relays. Also, it features X10 technology, which we have severals items for, and will be able to upgrade into the future. The Gecko electronics have been tested tried and true. So I guess you have already selected the color! That is usually the hardest part!
Thanks for the info! Can you tell us viewers more about X10 technology and why we would want it? I like the idea of ordering the "Tried and True" Gecko, and am squemish about ordering technology that has not be out as long. What other features make the Global Pack the way to go? How long has the Global Pack been out?Thanks,Steven
