My family is looking at the Tiger River Caspian and the Hot Springs Vanguard. Now that you pulled the trigger, how do you like the Caspian? What features do you like best? We like the seating arrangements of the Caspian and the stronger jets of the Vanguard. Any thoughts on what drove your decision making? We are being quoted $7,300 for a 2008 Caspian and $1,000 more for a Vanguard. Do you think the extra $1,000 would be worth the jets or do you think loing term we will like the better seating of the Caspian? Thanks

My wife & kids and I are learning as much as possible about spas and just learned about this forum. The members seem to share great perspectives. Wondered if the members could share their thoughts and comments on quality and pricing for the following three spas: Sundance Chelsee. Wet tested. Pricing with Ozone/delivery/no lifter/no stairs was $7,600 Hot Spring Vanguard. Wet tested. Pricing with standard Ozone/electric panel/delivery/no lifter/ no stairs was around $8,500 Tiger River Centurian. Didn't get to wet test. Pricing with standard Ozone/electric panel/delivery/no lifter/ no stairs was around $7,300 What do you like about the spas? Any potential defects that repair people seem to see? What kind of pricing do you believe is appropriate (note in Nor Cal)? Good stores in Nor Cal to visit? Also, since we are budget conscious, what are your thoughts on spas sold by Costco for $4,000 - 4,500? Thanks
