I thank all of you who responded here and in direct email. You have opened my eyes quite a bit wider. I have added Artesian Klodike and Kodiak as possibilities. I will wet test a few different tubs in the next week or two. Regardless that he is selling tubs, I would like to thank Jim_the_Jim for providing a lot of good information and would like to check out a few Haven models as well. I think it would be better to get the right model the first time, even if it took a while, rather than quickly blowing thousands of dollars just to get somthing that appears to be acceptable now and then constantly be throwing more money at it in a useless attempt to make it what I could have gotten by checking a little further.
I am now much wider open to suggestions.
