spa bath, hob height?

Whats the recommended hob height for a spabath?. I have started framing mine at 600mm + 10mm for tiles and it looks pritty high, is this correct?

install manual is not very detailed...

I was considering a spa bath at first before settling on a standard stylus classic island bath. It has the same dimensions as the classic spa bath. I looked at every display in showrooms and one thing was obvious and that is there is no standard height for bath hobs. I saw them ranging from about 450mm finished height of over 600mm. The depth of the bath will have an impact on the height as will the location of the pump.
I eventually built my hob to a finished height above floor of 550mm.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating they say and I have not yet finished my bath installation and hence will decide later if I have the optimum height.

Cheers
