Softlite versus Sunrise Windows

I had read here that Softlite was the route to go but unfortunately the softlite dealer that is 90 miles away has yet to respond to 3 of my requests for a quote. Just wondering if Sunrise windows and softlite are compatible for quality and price? I need about 20 windows replaced.

The upper end lines of each brand are comparable in terms of quality.

Most would argue that the Sunrise windows (Vanguard and Restorations) are prettier than the Soft-Lite and I would tend to agree with that.

Soft-Lite (Elements) window is a bit better on performance.

WoW hit it on the head. Fairly comparable as long as you are looking at apples to apples model and options. Sunrise = a little more glass area and arguably more attractive, where the SL (Elements and LS in particular) will offer superior performance ratings and is a little bit more structurally solid IMO.
