Drifter:
Hydro therapy will help your husband's back, but don't assume that the only benefit to his back is having water blasted at it! Soaking in the tub with no jets on can be very good as well. Therefore, don't purchase merely on jet size or power. That being said, Master Spas offer good and powerful jets with a good product. I'm not entirely thrilled with the neck jet collars (they make you feel a little trapped.) Between Marquis and Beechcomber that would be a no brainer for me. Beechcomber all the way! The Marquis looks like a much cheaper build and when I (I stress I) wet tested them, Beechcomber was a much better product! Good luck!

Steve:
An excellent post by Drifter.

Often power and therapy are misunderstood. They are in no way similar and one has nothing to do with the other.

Having the ability to move the existing jets around in the spa is far more beneficial to the end user. You will find jets that spin, pulsate and most are varying in power and feel. Beachcomber gives you the ability to do this as some other brands do as well.

80% of the therapy will come from heat & buoyancy. Don't get oversold in huge numbers of jets and enough horsepower to run a dragster. ;)

Exactly why it's not that big of a deal to have a diverter.
In our Optima, if you have the main therapy seat on full blast, you feel like you'll get launched across the tub.
I almost never have any seat on full blast.  Just too intense for me.  To each their own, of course.

I would also suggest the Hot Springs Vanguard/Grandee, if it is available.  

I wet tested the Marquis Reward (looking for Euphoria), Hot Springs Grandee, and the Sundance Optima.

The tub is a bit deeper (38 inches versus 35) and the seats are more bench than bucket. For the larger person, that may make a difference.
