Well we can echo the praise stated by Hermit Cover about Sundance Spa's -- although our tub, which is the Montego (seating for 8), is not at Winni - we are into our 8th or 9th year. Our tub has been virtually trouble free -- we did have to replace one of the pump motors a year ago - but our tub is operating 24/7 - 365 days a year - OUTSIDE and some maintenance is to be expected.
With the dealership right in Merideth, I would take a long hard look at what they have. I assure you they won't be the cheapest -- but they are rugged as all get out.
The other thought to keep in mind as you browse is the tub layouts. It's an extremely personal choice but consider looking at those models that do not have the lay down lounge seat. For our family we found that it was a complete waste of space (an entire side) which is better utilized by individual seating. With Sundance I know they offer many of their Spa's with optional seating -- so ask, if it is not in the showroom!!
The final hint about shopping for a Spa is to remeber to discuss "delivery and installation" -- although all of the electrical work will no doubt be seperate (remember most good tubs are 50 AMP) one of the "hidden" costs that will be avoided by some dealers is the delivery and placement (key word is placement).
