We just purchased an artesian nevis but are still waiting for delivery. My experience has been the artesians have a much stronger feel in the jets than anything else we looked at and the seating just felt better. We went to every dealer in the area, D1, hotsprings, limelight, dynasty, Maxx, Jacuzzi, and four winds. the Artesian dealer was the only one where we felt really comfortable with the dealer. Hope this helps
