Alternatives to a Prism
mzinga:
Headed to price out the Caldera option tonight.
castletonia:
Cantabria should run you about $750 more than a Prism. It is eligible for the $1,000 rebate though.
mzinga:
The Caldera option winds up being the same price as the prism and seems like a nicer tub. Would that be a correct assumption?
castletonia:
The Cantabria is positioned as Caldera's flagship hot tub whereas the Prism is not for Hot Spring. It is reasonable to think then the Cantabria is the superior hot tub. I think the cabinet is nicer on the Cantabria and you will get the touch screen control panel. Otherwise, the pumps, electronics, heater, etc are all pretty much the same. Same insulation.
The programmable massage sequencer in the lounge is nice on the Cantabria. I have sat in the Cantabria but haven't had an opportunity to sit in a Prism yet. I see the Prism as accommodating more people, I think it is superior in filtration with the dual filters, and is salt water compatible. From a therapy standpoint, I would probably give the edge to the Cantabria.
I sell both brands. If you are getting a Cantabria for the price of a Prism, you are getting a better price from the Caldera dealer. I would try to wet test each and get whichever is better for you.

Thanks a ton for the help. We wound up getting the Caldera for 14.2k which seemed like a pretty descent deal plus we have had good previous experience with this dealer with fireplaces.
