You don't have to apologize, I enjoyed it too. And I actually learned a few things!!!!

Thanks Markee That's what I was thinking. He also said that the ozone system on the Marquis was a less efficient bulb system that was added just to compete and would be very expensive to maintain. Is that True? (Wink) Any other info on the Spirt would be greatly appreciated. Ron

I was at the Hot Spings dealer again today because they were having a "special" pre-county fair "one day" sale. They where pushing an older but new Phase I Jetsetter for $600 less than a Phase II. Is it worth it to get the Phase I? It's also not the color we would get if we ordered one. They where a bit high pressure which I didn't appreciate. They wanted a deposit to hold the price and this is the dealer that suggested that Marquis was having $ problems. It felt like I was buying a used car, and I know I used to sell them in a different life. Unfortunately I think this is the only HS dealer in the area. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ron

Hello all My wife would really like to get a hot tub and I've been volunteered to do the research. Hopefully I can get some guidance from the board as I am clueless. We have very limited space so I have narrowed our choices down to the Hot Springs Jetsetter, Caldera Kauia and the Marquis Spirit. The only one we've been able to wet test is the jetsetter and my wife hasn't seen the Caldera yet. I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts or recomendations on these. All the prices are within $500 of each other the Caldera being the cheapest at $5900 and the Hot Springs being the most expensive at $6400 All including steps, cover lifter and ozone. I've heard that Marquis is having money problems, I don't know if that's a rumour spawned by the other dealers or them just trying to reduce the competition. Should I be worried about buying a Marquis? Thanks in advance, Ron
