In Response To: Help me decide? (Ken)

I would buy the Hot Spring. The $800 is worth it. Both spas are made by the same company (Watkins). Watkins bought Caldera 6 years ago. That said the quality levels are still higher on the Hot Spring and the dealer network is older and service levels are better. Hot Spring has the least service issues and resolves them the best.

I say this from experience, I dont sell spas, I just help those that already have them.

: So I have been researching spas for a while now
: and for me I am down between the Caldera
: Elation and the Hot Springs Vista. I guess
: when it comes down to it, both are great, as
: far as I can tell, and I should go with what
: gives me that warm and fuzzy feeling, I
: suppose... but thats it, as the price, I
: just dont know. My wife prefers the Caldera
: (though she wants to get whatever will be
: best for us, less headaches and so on), I
: prefer the Hot Springs... so I ask y'all,
: what do you think? Any suggestions on which
: to get? The Caldera is about $800 less than
: the Hot Springs, both companies have been
: around in my area for years, and are both
: relatively local. Each says their service is
: great.. the bottom line for me is that it
: comes down to asthetics and the way that Hot
: Springs says their filter system works...
: but is that worth an additional $800? So,
: what do y'all suggest??

: Thanks!
