The 0301, no matter which label it has, has a AI .23.
I suggest something .09 or less, my preferred is .05 or less.
Depending on where you are located we might be able to get the Okna 5500 to you, AI .05 or less.
If you like drafts go .10 or better.

I got some quotes back and am feeling a little better about them

Both the Anderson 200 and Simonton Bickmold 600 fit my line item. The Andersons seem to get mixed reviews, more positive then negative. Simonton seems to generally favorable. I was set on Vinyl but the Andersons looked pretty nice.

Any thoughts on these. I have 86ed the Alside products and Silverline. There are just too many horror stories out there. If I go Anderson, the patio is being upgraded to the next line. Both options have the Low E and argon option glass packs.

We have recently been helping people replace their AW 200 due to the extreme air leakage.
If those are you only two viable options I would pick the Simonton.

As much as I don't care for the bulkiness and higher rates of air leakage out of the Simonton, I do think that is the better choice as well.
