| Subject: | any experience with Thermal-Gard windows? |

I've received a number of quotes so far, and I'm starting to narrow it down. Does anyone have any experience with the thermal-gard triple pane window (www.thermal-gard.com)? It uses something called a "super spacer" (www.superspacer.com) to seal the glass panes.
Here's a breakdown on the quotes I've received:
Home Depot (Simonton Renovations 6100) - $6250, no discounts
Sears (Simonton, Weatherbeater Plus, I think) - $10k after discounts
Window Specialists (Pro-Guard, made by Winchester - same as their Bristol window, I think) - $13k if I signed that day, otherwise it was ~20k
Schuco dealer (Corona 4000, low e, krypton) - $7700 if I signed that day, would put a sign in my yard, agreed to have my address put on flyers, agreed to be used as a reference, etc. Otherwise, it was ~$10k
Thermal-gard (triple pane) - $6700 and no pressure sales tactics
I'd say the Schuco window was superior, but the color of the 'white' window (which is not really white) would not match our white interior trim. Plus, we have some narrow windows and we would lose an inch more of glass with the Schuco window than if we went with the Thermal-Gard window.
Here are more details about the windows I'm planning to replace:
