Much appreciated! I'm 95 percent sold on it. I'll be sure to update this thread with the end of the story, although I'm still quite a ways from getting the spa.

I'm really leaning toward the Marquis for a bunch of reasons and unfortunately this dealer is going to be my only feasible option (a more distant dealer basically deferred to this guy). At the end of the day, I want the tub in my backyard and the dealer will be a necessary evil I suppose. I don't have to live with the guy and maybe he'll turn out to be ok. Anyway, he knows I've got his number now and am active in some forums where word of mouth could do some damage. I won't mention their name unless I have to. Thanks for all your opinions, BTW

I wouldn't take a call to inspect your spa regularly as bad sign. It's the companies that hope you never look that you have to worry about. BTW, with the help of these forums and an email to Marquis directly, my local dealer admitted the Discovery can be fitted with the color Durawood I wanted without the $1000 dollar upgrade to the Signature. Since I called him on it he's offering to cover the cost of the upgrade ($185) if I "act now". Damn, it looks like I'm gonna have a problem trusting this guy now. This is worse than used cars.

Thanks guys. I just got a quote for the Marquis Rendezvous. Apparently, there are two versions.. the Signature and the Discovery. There's a thousand bucks of a difference for the choice of cabinets? and a few bells and whistles.. errr. I wanted to pick the cabinet, but 1000 bucks almost eliminates this one

We have a perfect use for one of these little tubs. Does anyone have any experience with/or have any opinion about these corner units? : • Sundance - Tacoma • Caldera - Aventine • Marquis - Rendezvous • Solana TX Would anyone knowledgeable care to rank the manufacturers in general terms? Thanks in advance, John
