| We've been getting estimates on having all of our old double-hung wooden windows replaced with Vinyl replacement.
I have two quotes. Without naming contractors or totals, the bottom line is that that Okna quote is about $1500 higher for the job than the quote from the contractor offering the Milgard Tuscany. The job is for the whole house, approximately 20 windows (15 double-hung windows upstairs, 5 basement hoppers). All windows will be white replacements. I like both windows - so cosmetics is not an issue. Thanks for any guidance or feedback. I did a lot of searching and couldn't find much about the Milgards. I am in the Chicago area (for weather considerations). |

| The Okna 500 is that much better in my opinion. What were the U-Factors of the unit in comparison? The Okna can be had with a double pane U-Factor of 0.25 which is superior to any double pane U-Factor the Tuscany can generate. |

| You should go with the Okna no question. Not only is it a far superior window, but Milgard just shut down production east of the Rockies. |

| Thank you both for your guidance. WindowsonWashington - I will get you the U-factor numbers later today... I don't have my literature with me at the moment and don't want to mis-state anything (my memory isn't what it used to be) :). |
