I am about to take the "plunge" and purchase my first spa. I have spent a good deal of time reading through this forum and have read the various opinions on buying spas at Costco (good prices, but curside delivery, service, warranty, etc.) I have read much about (both the good and the bad) the Hot Springs Highlife, but not much about the Barefoot spas in this forum. I have not committed to buying at Costco, however, for the reaserch I have done (fairly extensive), it seems good value for $$$. I can really use some direction before I make this important puchase, so, thanks in advance for any help you all can offer.
