I understand that a forum for hot tubs will generally attract high end hot tub enthusiasts. But I'm a first timer. I even went to craigslist today and saw a really nice Saratoga for $1200 (the seller hasn't returned my call or e-mail, I assume he must have already sold it.) Actually I'd prefer a new hot tub, but am not going to spend 10K on my first tub. Can some of the experienced folks on this board give me a bit of advise? I have a 3 year old and a 6 year old, so kid friendly is a plus. I was looking at Arctic spas, but I think they are out of my price range. All suggestions welcomed. KK117
