With out any doubt I would choose the Soft-lite.
Which model are you looking at?

theWindowNerd...

Pella 350 = pocket sill

That is a deal breaker in my opinion.

The Elements if one of the top 3-4 vinyl windows out there.

Easy choice.

The SoftLite model is one of the Elements line, called ultra-s glass in their catalog - http://www.soft-lite.com/wp-content/uploads/ElementsBrochure_2013.pdf

The Soft-lite is $4K more and I'm trying to see if its really worth it

Thanks!!

WoW is right, the Soft-lite Elements is the better window.

Definitely the soft lite elements. The elements and okna 800 are 2 of the best designed windows available, the pella 350 is maybe average, but not anywhere near the others.

It is defenitely worth the extra money for the Soft-lite Elements.
