--- Quote from: Afarmwife on August 25, 2017, 09:18:09 pm ---My husband put a deposit down on a Bullfrog X7 today. I feel that it was a high pressure sale and he's desperate for pain relief for arthritis. He was quoted 10,000 CDN for the spa, lid and lift kit, chemicals and stairs. He hasn't done much research but I've been doing some comparison and have notice that the Bullfrog seems to be an "entry level" spa. I worry that he has over paid for something in his excitement and lack of research. The dealer he put the deposit down with also sells Marquis brand. I have taken a look at them and I do like the Promise which was quoted at $9500 CDN. Can someone steer me in the right direction regarding these two spas so I can check them out before my husband makes a huge mistake?

I think you could of done better.
MarKee:
That's a pretty good price on the Marquis Promise. The Marquis you're looking at is in the top series of Marquis with longest warranty, best construction, etc, whereas the X series is more of the entry level Bullfrog.

There is a lot more value to me in a signature marquis then a x series bullfrog when you consider the Marquis is $500 less. I would try them both before making a decision
Jacuzzi Jim:
Thoughts are. A bullfrog X series is built on the same line as the A and R series. Same shell and backing with a polymer frame full foam spa. Same Balboa control Pack and a different controller and one less filter with a 3 year warranty and no jet packs and bells+ whistles. Yet is a lesser price then a R or A series.
How much different is the Promise signature series from the next step up in the marquis line? It's probably built on the same line, probably uses the same equipment as the upper end version, if Balboa probably the same as the X series or R series controller. Full foam or not I have no idea.
Long story short, a inexpensive or lower end spa from a quality mnfg doesn't always mean a cheaper construction wise spa or a really lesser end spa. It probably has less bells and whistles with less or more add on options and a lower price. Now don't take that verbatim or twist it like the media does these days with some people. But you industry people should understand what I am saying..

Agree! I'm an owner and currently own a Marquis Spirit. Before that I owned a Bullfrog R6L. Both are reputable brands. The Bullfrog X series is Bullfrogs entry level. Then their R series and top of the line A series. The R and A series have jetpaks and better warranty than X series. The Marquis Promise is part of Marquis top line, Signature series. IMO you would be getting a better spa and warranty with the Marquis Promise over the BF X. If you haven't already, ask them to open the front panel on both spas so you can see the inside equipment bay. Have them show you the operation of both control panels. What options come standard between the two? Also very important to wet test before purchasing.
