Buying A New Spa. Need Help W/ Final Four Choices

[hamburger]

I have an Emerald 595 but, we have sold the house and need a new one at our new home. I have narrowes my search down to four choices. Any input would be very helpful, the good, the bad and indifferent. My "FINAL FOUR" are;

1) Dimension one Diplomat (clearance priced @5625)

2) Coleman 471, standard package (priced @5450)

3) Coleman 481, standard package (priced @5880)

4) Sundance Altamar, standard package, no price quote, yet.

I'm leaning towards the D1 as the price is very,very good for this model but, perhaps you could persuade me otherwise. Thanks in advance. I need answers soon, moving in less than 2 weeks.

D1 without question. (I am a user, not a dealer. Have had experience with D1 and Coleman.)

As configured and against the others, the D1 is a steal. If the double lounge works for you, I'm not sure how you could walk away from it. If it works for you, my opinion is that it is more tub than either Coleman and I doubt the Altamar comparably equipped is going to be in that range. The D1 has a nice jet package, the adjustable neck jets make it useful for different height people and it's going to come standard with UV Ozone. It's a very respected brand. I doubt you'll regret it.

Very good price for that tub. A good price would be 7 grand But double loungers. Yuk, maybe they will work for you.

I can only speak for the Sundance Altamar as I just purchased ours three weeks ago. I love the spa and the service that I've received so far from my dealer, but it is not in the same price range as your other options. I paid $7995 for the floor model (with acccesories, chemicals and no stereo). I highly recommend wet testing those spas if you haven't done that yet. It makes a big difference in my opinion.
