Sweetwater Bahia vs Sundance Optima

(1/4) > >>

Cajun_Mike:
if both tubs are filled with water and heated at the same temperature and you can wet test them side by side...  what differences will you definitely notice?   What is the price difference between the two and is the higher price for the Optima worth it?   The main thing that I like about the Sundance is the pearlescent finishes that arent available on the Sweetwater...   the stainless steel rings around the jets look nice in the Sundance brochure but what difference do they make as far as function when you are in the tub...  

What's the best price quoted on the Bahia versus the best price quoted on the Optima?

bulmer4nc:
Our Sundance dealer had quoted us 7700 for the optima without ozone or a cover lifter.  He said that he could get us into a bahia for under 6000...  Told him I wasn't interested so I don't know the exact price.

I think the big differences between the two are the jets and the filtration.  The optima has some pretty cool jets and that's one of the reasons we like it.  They have jets that move the water with no moving parts.  The optima also has an air blower with air jets that I dont' think the bahia has.  I didn't look real close between the two because I think the optima just looks like it's a better tub when you see them.  It looks like it's better quality and the bahia looks more entry level.  I could be way off though...

Yup, I agree.  Looked at both Sundance and Sweetwater, ended up with a Jacuzzi Premuim.

The new Jacuzzi J-365 is essentially the Optima but at a lower cost. It's got all the same electronics as the Optima. It holds about 18% more water than the Bahia. The Optima holds about 18% more than the 365. The Bahia is available for around $5500. The 365 is around $6,200. The Optima is...What, $8,200? The Optima does have some jets the 365 doesn't but the 365 has a waterfall the Optima doesn't... If you can get the Optima for $7,100 then maybe it's a closer call but for $2K less for nearly the same thing? It's got have my vote...
