If you had your choice between Simonton reflections 5500, Gorell 5300, and Alside sheffield which would you chose and why? Oh, and these windows would all be the same double glazed, Low E, argon-filled, softcoat, no grids, etc. Also, they would all be the same price. As you can probably tell I've grown weary of window shopping and soon (before another winter) wish to purchase windows for my home. Any opinions or advice about these windows?
Thank you,
Brian

I have sold and installed all three, and still carry them all for different situations that may come up. I find these 3 windows about as evenly matched as any windows on the market and any would be a good choice for you.
My choice would be Schuco (by far) for my own home, but since that's not what you asked, my decision would be down to either the Gorell or Sheffield, for purely insignificant reasons.
The Sheffield has a bulkier appearance so I would choose it on really large windows, not because the other two wouldn't be OK being made that size, just purely for appearance. I think a really big window looks better with a bulkier frame and sash.
When you get down to choosing between windows like these 3 that are so evenly matched, it should come down to your own personal likes. Ask yourself which one you like the most. They are all good.
The most important decision you have right now, is which one of the 3 contractors do you like and trust the most? Who has the best installers, and who takes care of their customers the best well after the sale.

Window4U,
Thank you for the info. I did also get a quote for Schuco windows for my home.
2-73x52 sliders, 2-85x36 sliders, 1-40x52 DH, 1-24x35 DH, 1-28x35 DH, 1-36x35 DH, and 4-42x66 picture windows. All corona 4000 series, tan, no grids for $12932 installed. Is this a fair price for these twelve windows?
Thanks again,
Brian

Fair price for the dealer I'm sure. For you, I wouldn't think so.
