I am replacing 40 windows in Atlanta. There is a 15,000 price difference with OC being the highest.
The OC salesman says solace is that much better.
Should he be tested for drugs?

I wouldn't get that close to him to test for drugs. Sounds like he's a shark.
The Solace is a Sunrise Window. I sell both Sunrise and the Elements. The dealer price between the two is nearly identical.

Re: Owens Corning Solace Vs Soft Lite elements
I investigated the OC Solace when I first started window shopping last year. It's a rebranded Sunrise Restorations window. You may be able to get a better deal on the same window from a Sunrise installer. The Restorations is their top-of-the-line model; the Vanguard is the next step down but basically identical except for the hardware.
(FWIW, I ended up with the Restorations, and I'm quite happy with them so far.)

Re: Owens Corning Solace Vs Soft Lite elements
He is on drugs if he thinks its better at all, certainly not at that amount... Personally I think the Softlite is arguably the best vinyl product available... Definitely top 2 or 3. I'd put the Sunrise Restorations in the same company, but it's not better other than the slimmer frame/more glass area. I assume the OC "relabel" is similar to the Restorations as I haven't seen it personally.

Re: Owens Corning Solace Vs Soft Lite elements
The Elements will beat the Sunrise OC window in every category. I love the Sunrise products and just spent all day installing some as a new construction application. Even if the windows were the same price I'd say go with the Elements. Obviously, installation is crucial.
