Re: Simonton 9800 vs. soft-lite Pro and LS
Talked to Soft-Lite dealer sales rep today. They will not sell Pro Series. Only sell their exclusives: Imperial, Bainbridge and Barrington. Told me Pro Series is below Barrington. Sounds like baloney (thanks to input from you fine folks). He lowered LS price some and quoted Bainbridge. Pro Series sh...

Re: Aluminum vs. fiberglass screens
Thanks for the feedback.
Regarding the oxidize - how common is this in those 10 year windows?
Can it be cleaned off the window? Does it come right back?

Re: Simonton 9800 vs. soft-lite Pro and LS
Thanks DelewareMike. Yes, have compared both brochures. For a novice though, it's hard to discern the real impact of, for example, a Certa Force Balance System versus Endura Force Balance System. Soft-lite is a good marketing firm (and window maker) and comes up with new trademark names for each fea...

Re: Simonton 9800 vs. soft-lite Pro and LS
WoW, HomeSealed and anthony - really appreciate the feedback. That's three votes for the LS so far. Would you please expand upon the "why" of paying the 17% premium or approx. 2k more. The potential installer for the Pro Series is new to that line. He explored it based on my Soft-Lite comm...

Aluminum vs. fiberglass screens
Looking at 21 premium vinyl windows. Current wood windows have structurally flimsy full screens that have not done well over the 20 years. First, what's the tradeoff for full vs. half-screeens? Seems like many windows come with half-screens standard. One rep mentioned more susceptible to bugs with h...

Simonton 9800 vs. soft-lite Pro and LS
Buying 17 double hung and 4 casement. Like the soft-lite Imperial LS but pricey; is the value worth it? Can I get much of the soft-lite value with Pro? Customers seem to like 9800 just fine; how does it stack up to the others in value for the cost? All are doouble pane, double strength, argon, grids...
