new member with a few quick questions before purchase
HT34:
hi all,
me and my wife are looking for a spa and narrowed our search down to 2, both marquis (e750 & v84). Both spas are upgraded exactly the same (cover lift, 2 step environments, inline filter system, added insulation), and exactly the same price ($8,350...this price is with tax, out the door). I am here because forums are full of knowledgeable members who have been down these roads before and would know much more than I do, since this is our first spa purchase. My questions to you all:
-- is the e750 and v84 both built the same and with the same parts? Or is one built of better quality and parts?
-- I understand the v84 has the v-o-l-t system, which the e750 does not, and the v84 is the newer line. Is there any other real differences between the two that would be a major decision maker?
-- my dealer told me marquis is starting to discontinue the e series line and only making the e750 and 1 other spa from that series. If this is true, should this be a concern?
-- quality is my number 1 concern, and I've read that marquis is a very good choice. do you know if they glue and clamp their plumbing on both of these spas? Also, do they use the rolled fiberglass method under the acrylic or do they use some type of wood support to hold up the spa?
-- is marquis usually ok to deal with when it comes to a warranty issue. Would they give the dealer or myself a problem, or are they usually high on customer service?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I really want to try to get every stone turned over before making a large purchase like this. If there is anything else you would to add, please feel free. Thanks.

I'm a newbie myself so I really don't have much info but did just buy a Marquis e435 two months ago and have liked it.
when I bought the e435 I thought you could run all the jets at the same time and then found out that there are zones and you can only run one zone at a time. This ends up being a non issue for me as it's mainly just the wife and I in the tub and our two favorite seats are on the same zone. I will ask this, does the V84 allow you to run all the jets at once?
HT34:
that's interesting...I didn't know that you can't run all the jets at the same time for the e series. This is good information to know. I am almost certain the vector line allows you to run everything by turning both pumps on. does your spa have only 1 pump, or 2? can anyone else confirm this about the e series line?
Certified106:
I do not have two pumps. From what I understand you can run them all on the two pump setups.

Marquis is a great company to deal with. I sold them from 2014-2017 before switching dealers. Component wise, same pumps, heater, plumbing, and control box. Control panel looks different, but it’s basically the same. The Vector series has a slightly thicker cabinet that in my opinion looks nicer. More refinements on the Vector series, but quality is pretty much even. All water lines are glued and clamped on barbed fittings.
I would wet test and let that be your decision maker. I personally prefer the therapy in the Vectors over the e-series.
