There's really no measurable difference in performance between the Simonton Reflections 5500 and the Impressions 9800. Most who choose the 9800 do so because they like it for aesthetic reasons. The Reflections 5500/Prism Platinum is a little less expensive and is Simontons most popular window.
I'd definitely get double strength glass. May want to consider Super Spacer and ETC Starter Glass package. I think NJ is still far enough south to take advantage of a low SHGC. I'd ask your dealer what he recommends. Other than that, Simonton offers an array of colors, woodgrains and hardware that you can ask about. for a preview, go to the Simonton website.
superseal is not a high quality window. may look good on paper but again,its the enineering and the low quality pvc they use. you won't be happy in 3 years.
I think that with Superseal you are moving in the wrong direction. I wouldn't trust anything from that company. Their claim to fame has always been super garbage new construction and low-grade replacement windows. I will not even ride along side of their delivery trailers on the interstate in fear that the rig may come apart at anytime. I've seen this window and from a glance from far away it doesn't look all that bad. Upon a closer inspection everything is really cheap with very little attention to fit and finish. It would be a good window for an outdoor flea market vendor with some $35.00 a day illegals.
