I'm replacing 25 windows in my Denver house. I've settled on Sunrise and am trying to decide between versions of the Sunrise Verde and the Sunrise Vanguard.

Two different installers, both with good reviews.

The Verde is coming in around $1000 cheaper (given the total, that's not enough difference to make or break a deal).

Both have the s2210x glass.

They both have insulated frames,

The Vanguard model has fiberglass reinforcement throughout the frame and sash.

The Verde includes the solar clean treatment.

Both have optiview screen.

I guess my question-- is the fiberglass frame/sash worth a grand? I have two windows around 3 feet wide, the rest come in under 30 inches.

Thoughts?
