Thank you all for your help. We hope to make the final plans this weekend. You have been very helpful.

Hello. We have wanted a spa for many years, but always were apprehensive in making the plunge. We have known people to go out and spend tons of cash on spas, only to have them turn into broken down eyesores a few months later. We have heard that the quality of spas has greatly increased and the prices are reasonable. So, now we are seriously considering entering the world of spa ownership. We have a large wooden deck that is well built and can hold a great deal of weight. There is only two of us, so we are looking at the smaller spas. We live in a very cold winter climate and are egar to relax in the warmth after long days at work. We have narrowed our search down to 3 models. If any of you can give us pros or cons on the following models, it would be greatly appreciated. 1. Marquis Spa - The "Rendevous Model", formerly named "Hideaway". We really like the triangular shape and have heard it is a decent model. The Local retailer has it in stock and it is going for $3,500. We are a bit concerned that it is being touted as a plug-in ready to go model. I remembering hearing that I should go to something that was 220, and stay away from the 110 models. I asked the clerk about this and was told that I would be fine with 110. She said the only issue I would have is that using 110, the jets would not be able to operate when the heater was on. This sounds huge to me, but she said it was of no big importance. Also, she said if I did not like using 110, I could switch to 220, and it would be a very simple procedure. We have heard that Marquis Spas were reliable and this one sounds good to us. 2. Four Winds - Eros Spa. We found this model while reading this web site. It is listed for sale by DiscountSpasDirect.com. Like the Marquis Rendevous, it is triangular and would look great on our deck. We are reluctant to buy anything sight unseen, so we do have some major concerns. The price for this is $2895, and because we would not have to pay tax, we would be saving an additional $350.00 or so versus the purchase at the local retail store. And these guys are offering free shipping. We know nothing about this other than the pictures on the web site. 3. HydroSpa - Vitalizer. We found this two person spa on the DiscountSpasDirect page as well. It is very long and narrow and would be a nice fit for us. Just as the Eros Spa above, we only know what the web page says and are a bit apprehensive. The price for this one, which includes free shipping, is $2849.00 If any one knows anything about either of these three spas and could offer tips for us it would be greatly appreciated. We are ready to go, and just want to make the correct choice. Thanks.

hello - just giving this a test.
