Replace or restore good condition 100 year old windows?

Frizzle

We just purchased a 1917 four square that still has all of its original wood windows. As part of the kitchen remodel, I'm trying to decide if I should replace or restore them. They are painted with several coats & will cost about $4000 to restore (strip, reglaze, get into working order). That cost would also get me some high quality wood with clad exterior replacements. I'm torn, as I want to try to maintain the history of the home, but we're already making changes to other parts of the house (updating baths & kitchen).
