I don't think you can go wrong with the Cameo. After much research, we recently purchased the Chelsee (700 series, 4 deep seats, no lounger). We had narrowed it down to D1, Sundance, and Hotsprings. We found our Sundance dealer to be more knowledgeable and helpful (key to long term support), the price was much (MUCH) better than Hotsprings for a similar spa and D1 didn't have anything more to offer and lacked the support. I did like the "clean your filter in the diswasher" aspect of the Hotsprings spa but I could find nothing empirical that said it filtered better (and much to suggest that it didn't do as well). When you get the temp up to 103, have the jets running and you ease in for the first time, I think you'll be happy.

Again you forgot to add "in your opinion" because we all know your opinion is different than 99.9% of the opinions out there. I too, am looking at the Sundance and have figured out a couple of things in the first 30 minutes of searching this forum. Someone tell me if I've got any of this wrong. 1. Sundance, D1, Jacuzzi all make great products. 2. Wet test before you buy because it's pretty tough to change the fit. 3. Local dealer support is key. 4. Jim the Jim really is a goober and if you take whatever he says and do the opposite, you're probably close to being dead-on. Have I missed anything or am I ready to go shopping?
