Lower End Marquis (Everyday) vs Hot Spring (Hot Spot)

[toddyosh]

I am looking for a hot tub for my house and have done some research but would like a more unbiased opinion rather than some salesman.  I have been looking at multiple manufacturers and different lines.  My budget is $6500.  I would like to get the larger 6" more room in the hot tub, but don't know if it is really worth the extra $1000. 

Please feel free to vote and comment. 

THANKS!!!
