What other brand in my selection of dealers should I check out in your opinion? I like to keep all my options open.

A bunch of good brands were mentioned in this thread. All good brands including BF. I personally think the Marquis HK jets blow away anything BF has to offer as far as feel. I also think the design and engineering of D1 is better. But remember my opinion is just that. I have recently had the opportunity to wet test an A8, it had been a while since I sat in any brand. The things I mentioned are based on that. Water distribution to close to your ears is bad. Most brands bury the distribution in the tubs insulation. They say things like less plumbing, less plumbing than what? And how does less plumbing make it better? They say full power all the time at all pacs, that's impossible. They say no diverters, The way they lay out the tub and the nature of the design that is also false and misleading.
There is only one advantage to BF and that is the ability to choose the pacs you want in the locations you want before you get it home. No one is going to buy extra pacs and switch them around. It's easier and better to just slide over to another seat for a different feel rather than move a pac, all tubs you can do this.
Over the years there have been just as many BF problems on this forum as any other brand. Including o-ring problems.

I sell extra JetPaks all the time for customers to switch around....I'm not gonna get involved in some stupid tech argument but for those consumers following along all I will say is 1 thing....go find 3-4 brands you like, wet test, then go into the bullfrog dealer and wet test, best jets in the industry and that is why people buy them, I sold almost 125 of them last year and did dozens upon dozens of wet tests...the results speak for themselves "best jetting in the industry" period, end of discussion, I hear it EVERY SINGLE WEEK from consumers shopping/wet testing all the big brands. Ok you guys can get back to arguing fluid dynamics and other crap that doesn't matter at all when buying a spa....the jets matter the most to "premium" buyers

Really intrigued to hear the 3 or 4 reasons the engineering is flawed
