I’ve gotten some info on them from searching, but I’d love some more before I pull the trigger. Even though they don’t qualify for the rebate (the 2000 series), the next up I’m looking at, the Trimline Wood/Aluminum, which does, will still end up being more than a little extra than the rebate difference, which I’m not even assured of getting all $1,500 of.

We’re fixing up our new condo (that won’t actually convert for a while) Third floor brownstone, lots of light, currently have old, crappy wood windows, most of which are broken. Money is a little tight, but I still want to make a smart choice I don’t like any of the options less expensive than the aluminum Crystal, but am I wrong for not going straight to the wood/al, cost be damned? The actual U Factor/SHGC aren’t different enough to be in another zone of perception, just that the aluminum missed the target mark to qualify.

Are the Crystals an OK choice?

Thanks so much for any guidance.
