$11k is a good price on the Pulse.  Most dealers I know are getting about $12 for it

Wet tested euphoria (10k), pulse (11k) and j-345 (quoted 10k for j-385 floor model but only j-345 had water in it for wet test) today.  3 wet tests in one day was exhausting, especially since all three were set pretty warm. Pulse was comfortable but beyond our 10k budget. Euphoria was ok but jets seemed weaker and seats had bigger range of heights. Liked that euphoria control panel was facing in. J-345 was hard to gage since it was last wet test (exhausted), uncomfortably hot (104), and seemed to be filled too high. Does anyone know if j-385 seats would feel significantly different from j-345 or are j-385 seats just wider with more leg room?
I feel like we really need to wet test bullfrog but the dealer doesnt currently have one filled. I imagine wet testing bullfrog is a must since you have to choose jet packs.

Is pulse at 11k a good price or has anyone had success getting it down to 10k or lower? I think i would skip ace salt system.

Thanks again, great forum.

Keep going on the wet tests, you really shouldn't consider anything that you can't test when you're talking about a 10k spa and what tests well for 1 person can test poorly for the next so don't go by how spas test for someone else.

I know budgetary constraints can come into play but whatever you end up with is going to be in your yard for the next 10, 15 ... years so your final decision needs to come from the group of spas that wet tested well so keep narrowing the list down to the final couple and when you get there don't be afraid to negotiate, even when they initially say the words "this is our best price", keep going until they say no twice.

I think we r gonna go with Hot Springs Pulse. Got price down to 9900. No ACE or sound system but everything else included.

Thanks again for all the advice.

Well done, you got a good brand and you'll sleep better by negotiating a much better price! Some may have simply paid what was quoted or just gotten a few rubber duckies thrown in.

Pulled the trigger!  They also threw in umbrella.
