More than likely I'm going to get the Sundance Optima, but I do plan to checkout the Hot Spring as well. The only issue is that the closest Hot Spring dealer is not in my city, so would be a little bit of pain for future service, etc. Turns out I got a little lucky on the price for the Optima, kinda a long story, but to sum it up, the owner stuck to his word on the price even though some of the variables changed in my favor. Real genuine guy. He mentioned that he actually was still making a little money on it, so the markup must be quite significant on these spas!
Anyway, I do appreciate everyone's feedback and guidance throughout my search process. Very much appreciated. After all the research I've done, I do think that I would have been happy with several brands of spas out there....it just came down to the fact that i got lucky on a really good deal on one of them..
I would be interested though if anyone has had any feedback related to Dynasty Spas? Their new to our area, and not alot of history to know whether they are a quality tub or not... I first looked at their Dynasty Liberty Tub, then came across the bullfrog and then Sundance....
I sell the Sundance line in Ohio.. That optima price is incredible!!!!!! If you like the spa and the dealer BUY that spa!!! Dont even waste your time with Dynasty...not even comparing the same quality of spa. Enjoy and Good Luck.
