Does D1's water management really need less chemicals? also ultrapure vs ultrapure plus vs HS 100% system. Can't find any info on these systems. Thanks for all of the feedback

Got a call from D1 dealer with a price of 12,500 with lighting and stainless option. Really tired of the game but I feel like that is finally a fair price. Need to decide tonight if its worth cancelling the vista. Is D1 really far superior to HS?

$K more for the Chairman?!? Frankly, I don't see how anyone could justify that. Curious, price aside, which did you like better? To be honest I would have went for the chairman. I'll explain the pricing, chairman was about 3k more in price and the HS dealer was throwing in 1k in store credit.

To finish off this topic...I ordered a HS vista today. My final decision came down to the deal I got on the vista. The D1 chairman would have been 4k more than the vista. I really liked it BUT just couldn't justify it being worth an extra 4k. Hope I made the right decision, should have it in about 3 weeks.

Will make a decision this week, Everyone think the pricing is fair? updated pricing: vista/grandee 10,800 chairman 13,100 Sarena Bay 15,800

thanks everyone for the replies. Tough decision, I really like the D1 spas but the hot spring seem like a better deal. If the chairman was priced the same as a vista or grandee, I think I would go for the chairman. But for an extra 3k not sure its worth it. Hopefully I can make a decision, its killing me.

I tested the D1 chairman today and really liked it but it is also on the pricey side compared to the HS Vista. Only about a 2500 difference between the Chairman and Sarena bay. I would love to wet test the Sarena but there is no water in it at the store. My concern is this, is the Sarena seating as quality as the chairman? I know it has more seating but are they as good?

I wet tested both tubs today, both very nice. Must say, I was impressed with the hot springs moto-massage. The Amore was also great but I feel uncertain about all the bench seating. Amore has 2 great seats but the others are just average. Made me think maybe the seating in the Sarena Bay makes more sense or even the chairman. I find myself more confused than before...I thought the Amore was it for me.

Both are well thought of and you should be happy with either but did you wet test them. That should help you decide if one (or both) seem right for you. Factor in wet test results, the dealership itself (how long in spa world, how long with this brand, do they service, etc.), cost/what kind of deal you think you're getting, etc. I will do a wet test tomorrow. Anyone out there have recent quotes on these? I'm getting quotes in the range of vista = 10,800, amore = 15,000. does this sound right?

Trying to make my final descision on which spa to get, I will wet test this week. I hear you can't compare these two but what will I be missing if I get the vista. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm also looking at an Amore Bay, just curious about the quote from your dealer. If you don't mind could you send me your qoute? Thanks,
