    Maureen,

    Here's a thread to look at:

    http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?t=1321

    It looks like hrsdennis installs Doughboy pools so you might want to send him a PM as he might be able to give you some information.

    I just got a Doughboy 24' round Desert Spring and I am very happy with it. I have the usual above-ground installation so I can't help you as far as burying it.

    Did you compare warranties between the two pools?

    Well, what do you know! A AG dealer selling a pump AND filter combo that's BIGGER than you need! A Hayward superpump 1.5hp and 300# sand filter is overkill--I have 20,000 and use a 1 hp 2speed Superpump with a 200# sand filter and am just fine--and I run solar panels with it too. You are better off downsizing the pump than the filter--only downsize the filter if you downsize the pump.
