Marquis e series 435 or....?

We initially thought about 6K would be a good range, maybe a max of 7K. We've had a lot of home projects this year so we are trying to stay firm on our budgets, as small increases add up quickly with multiple projects.

I'm not really wanting a lounger, as I tend to float out of them. Even the deeper single seats I'm going to need a booster seat for.  We tried one of the bigger signature series ones as well, and I couldn't really relax and enjoy the jets without my chin going underwater in most of the seats. We wet tested a dimension 1 with a lounger and I didn't even notice it had foot jets on the lounger until my husband tried it and commented lol.

We are in the southwest.

I doubt you need the upgraded insulation. Energy savings is within a a couple of dollars a month between the standard and upgraded insulation in most climates. If you get negative degree temperatures, it may be worth adding it, but other than that I would skip it. National average energy cost on that model is around $15 a month, very efficient.

Perhaps talk to the dealer and see if they can work with you on the price of the 2 pump model? Maybe they can offer you more of a cash discount if you aren't financing?  In all my years being in the industry, prices don't go down and on a average have been rising around 7% a year.  So you may save yourself $500 or so doing it now rather than a year from now. The 435 will be the same in 2017, so no benefit in waiting from that perspective.

I agree with Markee in the south west full foam is not needed.  I put it on my tubs in the Northeast.  I would go into the store and try to negotiate on that price a bit.  He should have some wiggle room in there if you aren't financing and are a cash/check buyer

Kacb86:
As far as financing goes, do they consider it financing if we pay with a card or just if we want their financing? Our plan would be to put it on a card for airline points and then just immediately pay it off. We try and put everything on our points cards but keep a zero balance. Would we still have the same negotiating power as with cash/check?

You will have some but not the same as with cash or check.  Figure credit card companies especially points based ones take 3% so on a 8000 purchase that's $240. What other options are included in the price you are being quoted besides the 2nd pump?
