Was this at the OKC show? Was it worthwhile? We have a hottub on order, but were thinking of going to the show to check things out.

Yes, we were at the Watsons in OKC. They had the Cal Spa as well as the Artesian, and Viking. We didn't like the Viking, we did like one of the artesians but it didn't have a child seat. Which one did you order? Did your coworkers not like the CalSpa dealers or was it the tubs themselves?

We began shopping for hot tubs today (dry test only) and saw the following brands: Calspa, artesian, viking, Sundance, and phoenix. So far the two that seemed to fit "best" were the CalSpa 844L and the Sundance Certa. At first we were not interested in a lounger, but found that our two young boys fit best when they sat on the foot end of the lounger. Many of the other spas did not have a good seat for the kids. We also liked the cool off seat of the 844L. While the Sundance was the smaller tub of the two, it seemed to have more footroom. We only got initial quotes on the two tubs, both of which included steps, coverlift, delivery, chemicals, cover, but not tax. Both the 844L and the Certa were $6499 +tax. Are these good prices? It seems that folks seem to prefer the Sundance over Cal Spa, but the CalSpa seemed to have more features. How much could I expect to haggle with the dealer?
