After a year of going with the 5500's, I can say that I made the right choice. The large bay windows are full sun. My front rooms used to be 10-15 degrees difference in temperature. Now, I can sit right next to the window and it feels the same as the rest of the house. The Windows open and shut very...

I ended up going with the 5500's with the supercept and double strength glass. They should be in any day. Thanks for your help!
