Decisions: Hot Springs, Jacuzzi, or Bullfrog, others?
BullFrogSpasMN:
Can't go wrong with an A8, if you can manage a wet test make sure you try out the: Wellness, Oscillator, Pulsator & Trio...those are a few of my favs, they also have some new upgraded colors available on the A Series this year, check out the 'Orchard' color, I just unwrapped one for the showroom a couple weeks ago and it's my new favorite color, very sharp....Good Luck!

The Caldera website feels like Hot Springs website - closest dealer is 60 miles. The Sundance website looks like Jacuzzi's, and there's no dealers in my area. It feels like there was at one time a really large number of companies, and they've been bought-out or acquired leaving a few parents with a number of children.
Marquis looks interesting, but the closest dealer is 200+ miles away.

Your original 3 are all very good and certainly adding in Caldera, Sundance and Artesian makes sense (Marquis 200 miles away would disqualify them IMO).
You can only learn so much from looking at websites so I'd suggest you take your time to visit all of them and then look to wet test your top 2 or 3 choices based on models and your comfort level that the dealer will be there both before and after the purchase to see to your needs.

Thanks - how competitive are the Bullfrog and Jacuzzi prices that I've been quoted? Both stores seemed competent, but you can only judge so much by talking with the salesperson that greets you at the door. They're generally nice, after all, they want you to spend money. :-)
castletonia:
Hot Spring and Caldera are both owned by Watkins Wellness. Sundance and Jacuzzi are owned by the same company, The Apollo Group I believe. Marquis and Bullfrog are their own company's.
The Hot Spring Grandee and Pulse would be the two I would use as comparison.
Jacuzzi Jim:
Price on that A8 is pretty good. 1000 off from where we are.
