Fair enough. Appreciate the input. What alternative do you suggest in the sub 12k range?

There are good number of companies that will sell you a very good product (most spas look great, not all are built great) while also backing it fully (warranties generally look alike, not all are backed alike when it comes to taking care of the customer.)
All brands have spas from entry level through top end. Each spa manufacturer should have a dealer locator on their website so you can see if they have a local presence in your area and my personal list would include:
Artesian, Bullfrog, Caldera, D1, Hot Spring, Jacuzzi, Marquis and Sundance.

Look at them and their fit and finish and equipment bay. It's not perceived quality. And my opinion comes from 30 years experience.

My first choice was the Hot Spring Envoy. It's a beautiful, well-built tub, from a generally well-regarded manufacturer.
The problem is (at least in my area) - HS Envoy was quoted $15.5 whereas TS7.2 was $11.5 ...this was quoted in NY.
Is the Envoy really 25% better? ...or am I better off putting that difference toward a much-needed gazebo (like Covana Oasis)?

Hello, I am looking into getting my first hot tub and also in the NY Long Island area.
I also been looking at the Master Spa TS 8.2 from Suntek was quoted $11k without any options.
I found this great forum while researching hot tubs.
Please let me know any follow up on your search and or purchase.
Due to reading I am interested in a better Quality 8 foot tub but want to be in the sub $13k ball park.
After reading tons of reviews, the dealer seems the most important, so I would greatly appreciate any input regarding Long Island dealers.
