Ron... your price from Schuco was fair but the best windows on the market are only as good as their installation. The better products will protect their reputation by only using certified installers. Installing 2 triple-panes and the rest double panes is a waste of money. You cannot break the laws of physics... the heat you gain or lose will seek the easiest path in or out and accellerate. Look at it this way... if you have a double hung window (single pane) and the average year round temp in maine is 50 degrees, a 3'x4' window will lose 600 BTUs an hour versus the R-4.5 (overall) triple pane Schuco's 134 BTUs. Multiply the difference by the number of windows and then by your local energy charge to see the energy savings return on your investment but also include the property value return of quality window replacement on the East coast of 72% upon install. One way or another... you will pay and benefit.
