Is reasonable unacceptable?

Both more than acceptable, since you are definitely not getting ripped off on either, why not try them both out and let your expierence at the test be your guide. How do you feel about the two dealers?

I'm  not a dealer so my advice to not sweat the price is meant to help you focus on more important things. To me, price is important, but in the respect of not getting ripped off and getting a good value for your money.

Thanks for the advice....

Reasonable is not "unacceptable", however any major purchase should be done (in my opinion) to maximize your hard-earned dollars.  

I've never been one to pay full price for much of anything...but with this industry it's hard to know what "full price" is!  At least other big ticket items (cars, computers, homes) have price tags marked!  It was hard to even find a realistic starting price at most dealers.  

I almost didn't purchase a spa because of my initial distaste with the industry.

I'll keep you posted....leaning toward Caldera.
