Pulling the trigger today! Sundance or Marquis... Hmmm...

Welp... Now down to 2 choices...
While i really love the price of the pdc, and the way it's equiped, i just don't know enough about their history to make an educated decision...
So, I've narrowed it to the leftover 2018 Caldera Geneva @ $10,100 all in... Or, Artesian Elite Dove Canyon @ $14,100 all in... Only issue i may have now is finding the time to test the Artesian. If i decide that route, i may just have to gamble with no wet test.
The $4000 difference though!!! I really need to decide if the individual seat pumps, better look, neater lighting package and a 20' model are worth it... I could be wrong, but i feel like the build quality is pretty comparable with both. If i'm missing something, please throw me an opinion!

I think I may have just purchased one of these Caldera hot tubs that you’re talking about..are you also located in the New England area?

I'm in Mass. Cantabria, Geneva or Marino?

Oh no way, me too! Small world.
I went with the Cantabria, but it is an older floor display model. It doesn't have the FreshWater Salt System that is on the newer tubs. I am not sure what else has changed/been added since the 2017 models.

You got that cheaper then I could buy it. It was in his Westport store I think. The controller changed and the salt system. Had the newer cabinet. You got that so cheap it’s not funny. When I saw his ads I almost drove there myself to ring his neck. You got the steal of a lifetime on that tub. Get it yet?

Yea that’s right it doesn’t have the touchscreen controller either. I didn’t really care too much about the missing freshwater salt system though so that wasn’t a big deal to me. And for the deal I got, I don’t mind having the non-touchscreen controller. The one I bought was just a display and was never filled I don’t think but still comes with the full warranty. The Geneva was filled. We ended up working out a deal that I couldn’t refuse and I jumped on it.
I checked out some Sundance and Hot Springs hot tubs right before this pandemic and the prices were way higher than I ever expected. I was planning to check out all of the other big brands but most showrooms are closed. So Sundance, Hot Springs and Caldera were the only brands I got to look at in person really.

Wrapped it up today... Caldera Geneva. Yes, it’s a new ‘18 model. But, never had water in it, the dealer is super to work with and to our surprise even had a bonus we didn’t even think about... Bluetooth stereo... Had a few issues figuring out how to make a cover lifter work, as our permanent spot was already completed, and with the Utopia being plastic I guess only specific lifts will work support wise... Regardless, we got it worked out and will be enjoying our spa by next weekend! Thanks for the information throughout our journey!
