Hi everyone. I've had a few people out for quotes for windows. A couple of them were suspicious and seemed fly-by night. The lady from Pella is pushing their top of the line windows, which comes to $13,000... no thanks! Finally, I got two quotes for two different andersen products, Andersen 400 series vinyl clad wood windows and Renewal by Andersen which is a "vinyl" replacement window.

Andersen 400 series tilt wash http://www.andersenwindows.com/UE/Pr...shOverview.asp
The quote for this window is $8100. These are vinyl clad wood windows which give it a nicer look on the interior. However, Andersen does not guarantee the installation. I am trying to verify the installer’s warranty, but they are not open yet.

Renewal by Andersen http://www.renewalbyandersen.com/
These windows are $7500. They are made of a wood fiber and vinyl material called Fibrex. It is very sturdy and made to fit the opening. However, they have the plastic look on the interior. They are installed by Andersen and have a two year warranty on the installation.

Now the tough choice, which one to go with... any opinions? comments? advice?
