Tropic Seas Tahiti Model - advice and price info ? Also South Seas 965L

[fraff2]

I may be about to buy the Tropic Seas Tahiti (8 seats).  I believe same/similar to the South Seas 965L. Quoted a price of $8999 (With Step, Delivery, Start-up kit and Rocket Cover). I am wondering if that is a good price. Another dealer says he can get me in the 965L for less than that. Will be visiting him this week. Anyone have experience with either and prices paid ?
Open to suggestions also as I am a first time spa purchaser ?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice !

That's a very fair price on the 965L.  I've seen them go for $10k.  What price are you getting on the Tropic Seas?

I actually purchased the Tropic Seas Tahiti Elite. Since they had the tub in stock and wanted to move inventory I think I got a good deal. Paid $8600. I am a newbie to the forum and hot tub ownership so will be checking into the forum and searching for advice. Thanks for the reply.
