I'm thinking of purchasing an outdoor spa. I've narrowed my choices to models like the HotSprings "Vanguard" and the Jacuzzi J-365. They're both 6 person spas.

Can anyone provide any feedback on these models or brands? Is one better than the other?

The prices I'm getting quoted are a little bit less than $10k. Should I expect to be able to negotiate lower prices?

This is in the Seattle area.

Thanks,
Kevin

Both are great spas. Of course I'm bias, but some none bias advice would be: Of the two dealers who would sell you the spa, which one makes you the most comfortable? That's probably how your future relationship will be. Good luck, you'll be in hot water soon!
