Any thoughts on the Marquis E660?

bwspa:
What advantages do the fully sealed resin base give you?  I get that's it's better, but from feature / benefit - what does that do for the owner?  Sorry for the newbie question

MarKee:
The DuraBase on the Signature Series is an ABS plastic "pan" type bottom. The E-Series will have a fairly thick Polysheet plastic bottom that will fully seal the bottom, but it doesn't wrap up in to the tub. I wouldn't worry about the base. The E-Series Marquis is sealed off better than a top of the line HotSpring model for instance.

I don't know how true this is.  Stapling a plastic sheet to a base doesn't offer a whole lot of protection from moisture and insects.  HS uses that 60lb foam, which is pretty tough.  It does still leave the wood exposed though.  I'm not a HS fan at all btw, though respect their build quality to an extent.
