Thermospas Concord Platinum or Marquis "The Show" or "Epic"
bachman:
I know nothing of that brand but I see the advice and comments here suggest well-reasoned ideas or questions and not hate/rs.
I hope you are sincere enough in your quest for advice that it steers you in the best direction.
I do think it's a pattern to see the versions of tubs offering twice as many jets and 2 or 3 more pumps versus the respected and known brands that have a longer established reputation and warranty backing. It seems many of the tubs out there can be sorted as built to a level of quality or down to a price. That type of marketing isn't without some flags to warn shoppers.
I'd question the design and engineering of a tub that needs twice as much pazazz to accomplish the same results. How can a $13,000 tub have the same quality of pumps and build or jets with twice as many ? They have to shortchange things somewhere. At least the electric company will love it.

Looks like a lot of low flow jets. It's not how many. It's how good.

Welcome to the forum. I started my search for a hottub 17 years ago with a visit from the Thermospa guy. Way to high pressure for me. The choice I ended up making for my first spa wasn't much better, but a spa made from very similar components. What ever you do, I hope your hear to talk about it 17 years from now.
MarKee:
Marquis Show or Epic will be much better options. The Show is one of the best therapy spas available on the market, unfortunately it doesn’t get displayed by a lot of Marquis dealers, so it may be a challenge seeing one in person. I’ve soaked in it, and the jet power in that spa is incredible.
Sam:
Thermospas are pretty close to the bottom of my list of top brands. I think most would agree. They are a great marketing company but the product is terrible. Just a quick glance at the spec sheet shows that that spa only has 3 actual jet pumps. One is a air blower and another is a filtration pump. A lot of those jets are just air jets which also offer basically no therapy and are very loud. They also cause the spa to cool down pretty rapidly, which ruins your energy efficiency.
Honestly, you can go on and on but the general consensus is that there are quite a few options out there that are better products, with better warranties, and better therapy for the same or even a lot less money.
