Decisions: Hot Springs, Jacuzzi, or Bullfrog, others?

Anyone have any thoughts on the Jacuzzi or the Jacuzzi price? I know this is a new model - I believe that the 2019 J-485 is the replacement for the J-470.

Not a Jacuzzi dealer, but I think that is a fair price on the J485. I've seen my local Jacuzzi dealer quote out the 300 series for $10k plus so I would think a 400 series would be at least $2k-$3k more.

I use to sell BF and Jacuzzi. No longer on both.
The A8 price is a bit low based on my past sales experience.
The 400 series is really expensive... so based off years of not selling the Jacuzzi brand, I could tell you that 400 price is insanely low, especially if that is out the door...
I saw pictures of the new 400 cabinet, it looks really nice I agree.

Thanks - this is helpful! So does it seem that the Jacuzzi is a better value if the J485 and the A8 are equivalents in terms of features?
castletonia:
The Jacuzzi is only a better value if it feels better than the Bullfrog. Assuming there are no red flags with either dealer, I would wet test and let that be your decision maker.

So candidly asking after watching this forum for ~ 30 days, it seems that the most recommended brand is Hot Springs, or threads with a mention of Hot Springs get the most feedback. Is that because most of the folks on here that are in the industry are Hot Springs fans, there's a few Bull Frog lurkers, and really a small presence that work with other brands, like Jacuzzi?
Sorry for being direct, I'm just trying to understand if I should be looking harder at Hot Springs, or if it's just a lot of Hot Springs sales folks. I'm not huge on the layout with the corner being consumed by the filter housing, because I see us having 4 people in the tub, and the desired seating locations to be at the corners when there's 4 people akin to how when there's two people on a couch, they always sit on opposite ends vs choosing the middle. Maybe I'm just overthinking it...
