Replacing the sash will not hurt anything, we do it often , sometimes 10 or 14 years old. I would say it is the pain...

Re: Marvin Windows Sash Rot
The bottom of the bottom rail of the lower sash is to be painted/ sealed by the end user. That would be you the homeowner unless you paid some one to do it.

Re: How important is the spacer?
Intercept has not been around the longest, unless you mean mainstream warm edge spacers. Skydawgs comments are valid. I would say that if you do not get some unbiased negative feed back on either model, A. look at some of their installs, B. all other things being close to equal go with the installer...
