I know its so exciting right now, and you want to pull the trigger. I personally wet tested 3 brands, 6 tubs, and changed my mind a couple times. I'm glad I did and did not buy my first choice. Good luck.

I need to make a short list which I guess I’m in the process of now. Then I plan to do a wettest. Thanks for the reply.

You might want to state what you're getting for $12k besides the spa and cover. What else is in the package? Is that the negotiated price or the initial price quoted? Have you wet tested?

Both quotes on the flair I’ve gotten include steps, cover, cover bracket (which I assume is the arm) and starter chemicals.

Just an FYI. The dealer that you buy from is the only dealer that is obligated to perform service work, warranty or not, on your hot tub. A dealer 1.5 hours away will likely charge service call fees related to the distance from their store but also will not likely be able to be as responsive to service needs as a local dealer would.
Marquis makes a quality hot tub. The Marquis V84L and Reward would probably be the ones most comparable.

Because of that, it's worth going back to the original dealer to see what the differences are... if any in the deal. Maybe they will be flexible?
I made a deal. A dealer 5 hours away from me was undercutting me by $1500 on the same spa. They didn't include financing... and wrote in the contract quote that they would charge $600 for warranty labor and they would be able to do the work within 3-4 months of being told about it...
I met the customer halfway but told them I wouldn't charge a thing in warranty. Everybody wins

I'd like a reliable, straight forward, but nice hot tub that will give me many years of trouble free service. In turn I will treat it like I do my cars. All maintenance will be done on or ahead of time.

Sounds to me like a Nordic tub would be right for you.
