Yet another - looking for my first hot tub post...

Sam:
Just an fyi, a saltwater hot tub is still a chemical hot tub.  Saltwater spas use an electrode to create chlorine from the salt, which is sodium chloride.  The chloride ions become active chlorine.  You still need to balance the water and perform all the normal hot tub maintenance.  You also have the added work of cleaning and replacing the salt cell which can be pretty expensive.  Salt systems simply generate the chlorine so you don't have to manually add it.  Though many people find that they still need to add supplemental granular chlorine with a salt system.  I'm personally not a fan and have seen many corroded components replaced prematurely in saltwater spas.

As for your spa choices, they are all top notch, well made hot tubs.  Let the wet test make your final decision, assuming that you are comfortable with the dealer.

We liked the HS pulse, but decided we wanted a lounger and didn't care for the HS ones (Prism was way too much $$$). Correctly purchasing Artesian island Margarita Elite.

Wet testing is always wise no matter what you decide on but if you're considering a lounge spa its is even more important, much more so in fact.

Ralith:
Yep, we got to wet test the Prism and several Artesian ones. HS seems like a good brand, but prices are more expensive than comparable tubs.

If jet performance is high on your list you may want to keep Marquis on your short list.  They have really good jetting.

The proof will be in the pudding (uhhhb....not so great imagery there lol) once you wet test.
