Ok, all. My guy has really bent over backwards to make the Marquis Mirage work for me both price-wise and location-wise. I mentioned the Marquis Promise. This thing looks huge in comparison, but will fit in my space. Two pumps! Bigger, better, faster, more! Not much more money! Constellation lighting (I have no idea why I really like this, but it appeals to me). So, now I have to do the "gotta talk to the wife" move. The price diff is only about 7 bills, and we can fit people in this one if we so choose. SPA GURU - I was trying to say it only had one pump! Newbie language. Get home, plead my case. Done. I texted my guy, and I am going to put a deposit down tomorrow. Thank you guys for your help. I am really excited about this spa! Thanks for giving me the thumbs up on Marquis as well. It is new to our market, my wife works for a major employer in our area (meaning that she has co-workers with plenty of opinions). Glad to be buying from a employee-owned company as well. Expect me to bother you when I screw up the water quality. Inevitable.

Excellent - I was hoping dodgyswa would respond! Thank you! Anyway, sitting on my hands has had the effect of the price dropping to $7300 and again to $6995 (tax not included). Of course, that has also had the effect of my eye wandering. To answer, they don't have a full service department that I can see. We aren't looking to have too many people in the tub, but we are a family of four (little kids, and they prefer the pool across the street at the neighbor's anyway). I don't see us entertaining in the hot tub, as I would worry of others' hygiene and entering what essentially is a bathtub. I have heard good reviews of Marquis, and I plan to go look at the Promise tomorrow (this will also fit in our spot). I was concerned that the Marquis has only the one stage pump, although it is a smaller tub so maybe I am out of my head for being concerned. My guy says the Promise is a newer model http://www.marquisspas.com/hot_tub/models/the-promise.asp as I saw a different one at an online store with the same name but far fewer features. Dodgyswa, I travel through Buffalo and Jamestown a lot, and am aware of Colley's. I gave them a ring, and they can do it for $6750 but the delivery to Rochester is $500. It was still $50 cheaper than the local folks as of 5pm, however. We were going out with the kids this weekend and found a place selling Master Spas. We weren't thrilled with what they looked like, as it was a bit dated looking, but for the same price we could drive a Twilight 6.2 with more jets and a two stage pump system. http://www.twilightseriesspas.com/twilight_series_spas-model_ts62.php Complete installation, including delivery, cover, steps, and a 220 line run was $8100. I didn't opt for anything other than the base model in this, as the upgrades made the spa less attractive (we were able to put a skirt together with a tub color with which we could live, as they would need to build a new one due to having none in stock). I will note that there were a significant number of little clear "floaties" in the test tub. Asthetically, I am a bigger fan of the Marquis tubs. Unfortunately, the Mirage has no water in it to see it in action. I will do some homework on the Master Spa, but I can't say it would be my first choice. Gut feeling.

Hello all: Any help would be appreciated, but I am looking at a Marquis Mirage for my home. It is the floor model at a local place in Rochester, NY. It is the 220 version with the 160 gallon pump. It does not have the constellation lights, which is unfortunate, but I will not lose sleep about it. Where we are placing the tub is in tough spot, and this tub is the largest one I have found that can fit in there (and it's going to have about 1" clearance as it is to get under an arch). Anyway, the quoted price was $7500. I have bought stuff from this guy before, and he seems on the up and up. They began selling spas about 6 months ago. As far as I can see, they are the only dealer in Rochester that sells Mirage. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I noted another user that is in Buffalo that has one of these - I hope they can chime in.
