Is that the only window in your market?

My sister and BIL had their windows (not same model but) in their first house. Builder basic, bottom of the barrel windows quote honestly.

They aren't the only window in my market. I'm limited because of the local DP requirement of 50 and what windows are available in my area. I would have preferred Okna, Sunrise, Provia or Soft-lite but they either aren't avaialble or don't DP at 50. I have a quote for Simonton 5500 windows and Simonton Inovo Patio doors which is $5000 higher than the quote with the Interstate windows and Patio doors. I'm trying to figure out if the quality is the same and I don't really want to go with Pella or Anderson windows because of there cost.

Soft-Lite and Okna definitely have DP-50 so maybe they were in the unavailable category in this case.

Soft-Lite is pretty widely available. You sure they weren't around? Where is the home?

If this is down South (i.e. Hurricane area), Soft-Lite is in Florida...last I checked.

I checked with both Okna and Soft-lite and there are no dealers within 100 miles of me. I live in Coastal NC between Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC. None of the installers in this area use these windows.
