Who should buy which
Buyers who want the coldest manufacturer-rated floor available in a cedar-and-stainless tub at this price, and who can wait out a 16-week preorder.
You need delivery soon, you buy on warranty depth (Renu's 60-month tub coverage vs 12 here), or you can't run a dedicated 120V/20A circuit.
Buyers who want premium cedar and 316-stainless build quality at sub-$8K - and who specifically want a seated vertical-hybrid that keeps them neck-deep without floating or full-supine immersion.
You need delivery in under 4 months, you want the longest warranty in the category (Renu's 60-month tub wins), or you want a 2-person tub.
