There is an enormous range in quality and price. Andersen Anderson? windows are very over priced for what you get, if you ask me. We got Green Mountain Windows (they are a local company) The price for a 35x65 inch double hung, low e glass, vinyl clad exterior, primed wood interior, 11/16" insulated argon filled window was about $325. Not bad for a prehung window, but multiply that by a dozen or so windows and it smarts a bit. We're doing the last four windows next year. (there are also five very narrow bays which may never be replaced---$$$)

(an aside: am I the only one who would like to see the asshat banned?)
