We bought our first artificial tree two years ago, and the local pool supply company had the nicest selection by far. I hated the ones I saw at Home Depot, Sears, etc. The pool place was charging around $550 for a 7.5 foot tree, which shocked me at the time. I managed to find the same one cheaper online by doing a google search, but that was the week before Christmas. Ours is pre-lit with white lights.
