Simonton 7300/7500 vs Brothers California Series

[Willierose]

Hi there,

I'm a newcomer to the board, but I've learned a lot in the last few weeks that I've been reading it. I'm in the market for vinyl windows, and I have narrowed it down to Simonton windows (7300/7500) and the Brothers Home Improvement windows. I live in Southern California, and all the windows are to be single hung.

Simonton 7300: Pros-LowE, argon standard, supersavers available.
Lifetime warranty on glass, screens, hardware, &
transferable.
Cons-no weep flaps

Brothers: Pros-LowE2, supersavers standard, self cleaning glass.
Lifetime warranty on installation to include glass,
hardware, & screens.
Cons- No argon. No tranferable warranty

The estimates I have received only differed by less than a hundred dollars. Simonton 7300 w/supersavers $5900 vs Brothers $5982. Both companies seem reputable with exceptional consumer records. I'd appreciate any advice or opinions on this topic.

Thanks so much.
