[Pulled The Trigger Today!]

Thanks for all of your help in answering my questions. As a person new to the hot tub world, I appreciated the time those of you took to impart your opinions!

We bought our tub today! Its a D1 Sarena Bay! We got a truly incredible deal. It is a brand new '05 but comes with a full warrantee to begin upon delivery date, the bow flex type rower, stairs, cover lift etc... $10,000 delivered and set up!!!!

I can't wait. Thanks again. You all have a wonderful forum here.

[Floor Models]

Thanks to all who answered my previous post. You were all very helpful!

Anyone have an opinion on buying a floor model? I have made the decision to buy a leftover 05 Sarena Bay for 10K including the exercise system, cover etc.. I have done a lot of research and I know how great a price it is. It is a floor model however and has been to the local home show and was a running display.

Full warrantee comes with it of course and it is a reputable dealer here locally. But I was wondering if I should be worried about purchasing a floor model.

Your thoughts are appreciated.

[D1 Sarena Vs. Hs Grandee]

Help! Another newbie going for his first tub purchase.

We do a lot of entertaining and therefor I am looking for a larger tub with many features. I live in the greater Springfield MA area and our choices are quite limited in terms of dealers and brands. Really only have HS, D1 and Coleman.

I have narrowed it down to the D1 Sarena Bay and the HS Grandee. Could not wet test either but did wet test the HS vanguard. Seemed a bit underpowered but comfortable. I know that the Grandee is much bigger in size, dry tested it and I think it would fit my needs. D1 dealer told me that the HS line does not allow full operation of all jets at once. True?

Price is about comparable. I was quoted $9,099 on the Grandee and the D1 dealer has a left over '05 Sarena that he will let go for $10,000. Do these prices sound in line? Anyone have experience with the Sarena Bay or Grandee? I could really use your input.

You folks have a fantastic forum! Thanks in advance for the help!!
