thank you for taking time to respond with valuable information. This can get really get overwhelming thinking of everything and what to compare.

This site is fantastic, reading and learning a lot from you all. Much more than any other site out there. That being said, 1st time buyer of a hot tub, looking for a quality Hot Tub but trying to keep it at a 7ft size, based on my available space. Cold winters so best reliable quality for best price point is my main goal. We are looking for a therapeutic massage/strong jets as well. . Been talking to two dealers both come recommended. My options appear to be a floor model Sovereign from Hot Springs, a Flash (both Hot Spring) and then looking at Captiva and Captiva Elite for Artisian tubs. Not sure Elite is in the picuture because of price. Trying to keep total price below 9k. I can open it up to other brands but again, looking for one of those best bang for the buck type tubs.
