Ok, 40eth is coming  :o and I got the ok from the sweet heart to hunt for THE spa :). Did all 28 manufaturer sites from pool and spa (my eyes hurt big time)  :-[called dealers visited dealers read reviews, then I found this forum! :D
Spent six hours viewing 39 pages of this forum (actualy could not sleep after this head hurt so bad)  :-[Went and looked over the spas that had layouts that we liked. Then came structural, material and easy component access and FOAM yes non foamers I am a man for FOAM!! narrowed down to 3 manufactureres(also factured in price cap) Sweetwater-palermo, Caldera-paradise S Tahitian and Marquis- mirage. Am not a fan of bells and whitsle give me true performance...Then went through each manuf,.. warrentys" WOW" big shocker for sweetwater on there if your tub needs replacing U pay big for there screwup. Now down too 2, did the 100 Q over the phone to both,
The marquis is the whip with there warrenty and was pleased the caldera is no slowch with theres ether. But Marquis construction and no bells and whistles; being a tradesmen I see it it is worthy . So comparing the caldera P,Series Tahitian the hydrotherapy layout was far better then the marquis mirage($5500 otd,weak water flow unless u turn on them foot well nozels then its hydro enema time  :P). so I looked to match a marquis to the caldera tub and that was the silver annivers reward!
And the price jumped right past the caldera???????
Caldera $6400 OTD with the usuals + GFCI box
Marquis $7626.70 w/t with the usuals wo/GFCI and if I put 20% down I only get a $200 drop.
And this is where I am stuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nether dealer has ether tub for me to wet-test
and Caldera will have to wait for a delivery but MArquis will not fill that tub only mirage-reward-euphoria that are in the showroom.
Help. I'm truely pissed, does maquis have such a great product they have no need to flex with price like Over inflated hotspings?
I need some feed back, some comarisons  let me here it please.

pissed stiffy

Come on, that was soppose to be pissed stifly as in my job sends me home tight in the muscles and tension from teenage children. I'm ready for a tub ! been paying to much for the one-hour u soak in a tub place.
Should I be happy with these prices? does the caldera compare to marquis?????????????????

Mendocino101:
heres a thought for you....If you liked the Marquis...why not look at the everyday line 530 in about 1 week it will come with the spa frog  as well as the ozonator when you get the z pack that includes the upgraded cover and dura base bottom....it would fit within your price range and is a nice 2 pump spa.....also if you like the regular Marquis line check out the destiny....

Spatech_tuo:
2 good products so you can't go wrong either way.

ZzTop:
I second that.
Both good spas!
