Knowing how well the Cantabria has done with Caldera dealers I think this will be very popular with Hot Spring dealers and spa shoppers who are looking for a big spa with the open seating.

I agree, it may be a small segment but there is definitely people with big families or others who just entertain a lot that are looking for a nice big spa...the Moto-Massage is an excellent touch imo, I'd love to see this thing filled and running in my mood room  ;D

Exactly, not too many people are looking for a spa this size but there are still plenty who will like the Grandee/Vista but want something just a little bigger.  When do you expect to have it?

we have a big Home-Show at the end of Feb so we should have one on display at that time....I wish it fit underneath a Covana because the combined lights would be very impressive  ;D

We have had a "Pump 3" spot on all of our control boxes for years - now we get a spa with three jets pumps!!

I'm happy to learn that I can (just) fit one on the slab I poured years ago to fit a Grandee/Vista. But I will have to take down a section of concrete block wall before I can roll one in. It's ok, I was planning to do that anyway...

we'll have 2 coming in within a week or so...I'm just glad they left one dimension the same as the Grandee so I can still get the damn thing through the door and into the showroom  8)

Hey do you have a price on this yet? I told my friend about it and he was interested. Needs a LARGE tub but doesn't want to to spend a ton.  He really liked the way it looked from the picture I sent him.

it will be very similar pricing to the "huge" models from Jacuzzi/Sundance, so give or take 14-15k  from retailers depending on options of course, so probably not what your friend would be looking for

Ok thank you. I will let him know. 

Do you have any idea when it will be on the Hot Springs website?
