I then asked about the water tank and then said well on the forum you said you had a problem and were very unhappy. He stated that it was just a simple adjustment and everything is fine now. What would you think?? I need to make a wise decision

I'm a little confused. First he has a problem closing, then he doesn't? First he has a problem with the water tank, then he doesn't?
There a few (VERY few) chronic complainers on this group. They would rather complain, and cast aspersions and blame on the factory, and cry "Oh poor me!", than describe the problem and ask for comments and suggestions. Sounds like your Mr. X is one of those.
If the unit is hard to close, it means the torsion bars are misadjusted. The torsion bars counterbalance the weight of the shells - there are four bars on each shell - and when they are properly adjusted, the shells will just glide open and closed. Denny_A is our resident guru in this area. There have been threads on this board about how to adjust them, such as

You might or might not feel comfortable adjusting them yourself, but any dealer can do it in a flash. Mr X should have done that, instead of whining and complaining.
The water tank problem is pretty non-specific - but there isn't much that can go wrong with a water tank.
Dunno if this helps - but it doesn't sound as if you are buying into a major problem with either of these.
