I personally own a Vanguard with the Pearl color!

It is absolutely fabulous!  I love it, and glad I did not listen to the "doom and gloom" of showing scratches and water spots.  I wipe my water line down once a month, just for good measure, not that it really needs it.  I have noticed no scratches in the 9+ months I have had my tub.  Each water change I use a little windex or some clorox clean-up wipes and wipe it down good (which I would have done with the other colors).

Go with what YOU like!  It does reflect the lights better, and when the sky is cloudy, I turn the lights on to cycle through the colors and relax to the symphony of lights!

Good luck in your decision!  My hubby actually didn't like the pear at first, but has admitted it is a lot prettier than the blue (which would have been his choice).

Just my thoughts on the subject.  I am prejudiced!

We went with the white endurol, but only because we liked the slightly rough texture, as it gave us a little more traction getting into and out of the tub.

Otherwise, the pearl finish really did look sharp! 8)

We are close to buying a caldera niagra. At first we thought the blue was a good choice. But realizing unlike our pool these things are covered most of the time the white or pearl seemed the best choice for lights.

Saw a pearl in the show room that had a scratched area as if somebody rubbed it deliberately. It was in a circlular motion.  Dealer wasn't too happy, said he could fix it and was pissed somebody did it. Let's face it all surfaces are going to age over time.  If you use a nice cloth it should be fine. These people probably won't buy a pearl tub now because it scratches. Well brillo or sand paper will do that to a shinny surface. :P

The pearl finish scratches MUCH more easily than the textured finishes. I have seen them scratched by someone sitting on them in jeans. Also seen them scratch because a small peice of dirt or sand got dragged across the spa as the cover was removed. It does not take sand paper to scratch that material.

I think it looks FABULOUS (darlin'!) and with the dark wood surround????
