First hot tub

Seems pretty good price, seems more work due to chemicals than Prism/HS salt systems. Also only 1 year warranty vs 5 year on HS Prism.

If you are trying to compare apples to apples then you might want to look at the Twilight or the LSX tubs from Master. I believe the Precision series is there entry level series. That's from the Clarity series I believe. I would compare prices on that to the Marquis Celebrity elite which has a much longer warranty and the Hot Spot line by Hot Springs which also has a longer warranty. I will say on that precision 8 the Master road show was in my town last weekend so I went to see what they were offering. They had that tub listed at about 11k but within 5 minutes of talking to him he was at like $6500. Pricing is regional thing. Rent, overhead, volume of business all plays into the pricing aspect of things. I don't think Master is a terrible tub, I do think there are a number of better options but the way they sell them is high pressure and make it look like you are saving lots of money. Sounds like you are dealing with a dealership so I would check there reviews and wet test whatever it is you decide on. Also (I don't know the answer to this one) what is the insulation like on the clarity line of spas?

That's cheap. What options are included with that?

That's with lifter, $7800 for tub plus $200 lifter.
MS is headquartered in IN about 5 hours away from me, so I'd think my region should be low?
Clarity has full foam insulation per dealer. Unfortunately only HS dealer does wet test, Marquis and MS don't. MS dealer didnt feel the higher tiers provided as much to warrant there higher cost so he only does Healthy living and clarity (their 2 cheaper tiers).
Warranty is 7/5 years on Marquis Woodstock and HS prism/ pulse, only 1 year on MS Precision 8.

FYI Woodstock is 3 year warranty on equipment not 5. Just the same it’s a great price.
Ralith:
Yeah, HS is 7 year tub and 5 equipments as well. I do like the size of prism, but price is just way too much considering other options, I just hate to spend $8k without wet testing.
I do have an artesian and Caldera dealers an hour away and I they have bigger tubs like prism where MS and Marquis don't.
Hottubguy:
Cantabria is a good option as well. Pricing will probably be a little higher then the prism.
