Looks like a good price to me.

I don't think over vinyl.
But you should consider them.

As others have stated if you water them and snack them a little they will appreciate it and go an extra mile for you.
Remember you get more flies with honey than without it.
If you are pleased with the work when they are done $10 to each and they should be grateful.

Well, I would say never have HD or any other big box do your project, to much of a crap shoot, also price is higher than getting the best local independant. You do have a bit of a can of worms with the stucco, so it is very important that you trust the installer and what they will do to stop any wat...

If you are not strongly drawn to wood then vinyl will be a great choice.
You want to talk to more local people who are aware of the best products in your local.

She has it all figured out.
She seems to speaking at times about thermal exspansion in the IG spacer.
As for the other, I have been in the industry for 30 years and have not seen any problems with exspansion in mid to high quality units.

If you have a great glass package and bad infiltration it will not feel good.
But you are right about a blind fold. Is there a discernable difference? It is a blend of fit, function, beauty, and budget.
Being the consumer you get to pick the blend that is rigth for you.

You wont notice it 345 nights of the year.

You will be happy and well served by either choice.

JScott's post is clear concise and accurate.
