I hope this helps.  Good luck moving forward.

This is a great point you don’t need water to know if you will fit. Keep in mind the water level wont be the top of the tub. Another thing to remember is without water a tub with powerful jets will feel somewhat uncomfortable. The seats are angled to keep you in when the jets are working plus you will be weightless with water.

But as far as depth and leg room an empty tub will tell you what you need to know.

It's a great point about sitting in the tub.  Unfortunately we haven't been able to do that with any of the models we're interested in. There was no Nordic lounger on the floor at the dealer.  They only had a round, bench-only model on their floor for us to see, so haven't seen that one at all.  The Aspen dealer had a tub with lounger on the floor but it was the El Dorado, which is way too big for our needs, so while my husband was comfortable in it, it wasn't the same as the quattro.  Rural shopping can really be the pits.

The Wizard of Spas:
The Eldorado is 2" shorter than the Quattro on the lounger-side, while being 16" wider.  Thus - The feel of the lounger is the same.  And as a person who made a decision in January on Eldorado vs. Quattro for my new house, I went Quattro b/c 1) its just me and 2) I didn't need the extra space.  Money was also a consideration so I was already leaning towards a smaller, more cost-efficient unit due to the expenses of said new house. 

I also like the feel of the captain's chair a bit more in the Quattro, but that is a personal opinion and you may be taller / shorter, etc. and you may feel differently.  I am happy to help with any questions you may have about this unit if you still interested.

I have never sold Nordic but the dealers I know that do enjoy that it is fairly reliable for its price-range, and I recall more positive than negative feedback on the brand as a whole.  I hope this helps!
