Thank you. If there were no prices posted on the 2 tubs and no brand names on the outside I would say I liked the Strong tub better. But I don’t want a tub that turns into a maintenance nightmare.

CanadianSpaTech:
Strong sell through Costco under the Evolution Spa brand name as well.

Do you mean you like the look of the Strong model better or the fact it had more jets or was there something else that caught your eye? You don't need to explain your reasoning really, everyone has their own opinions, it just helps if we know what you're seeing and how you're evaluating your choices.

Yea, did you look at stuff like fit and finish, inside the equipment bay, where the shell meets the cabinet? Or did price steer you right away?

I really liked the seat layout of the Strong. It was super comfy in just about every seat. The lounge seat was a bit different than other loungers and I enjoyed it. I don’t typically like lounge seats. I liked the fact that every single jet was adjustable and could be turned off. I loved that it had shoulder jets. It had 3 jet pumps instead of 2 and it was a bit bigger than both the Envoy and Aria. It wasn’t quite as pretty as the Hot Springs tubs but I don’t care much about that. I also care zero about speakers, waterfalls, touch screens and similar add-ons.

The Hot Springs tubs felt just like every other tub I’ve been in. Not that that is a bad thing but I was expecting more for the price. The one thing that I really like about the Hot Springs is the salt water system, Strong does not offer that. Having said all of this I have yet to wet test either of them, still trying to schedule that. They were all empty when I sat in them.

I honestly care very little about price EXCEPT that I don’t want to feel ripped off. I will gladly pay $20k if I get a good deal on an amazing tub but I don’t want to pay $20k for a tub that is no better than a $12k tub. I am planning to check out Marquis and D1 next.
