Are the IGUs the same overall thickness. The low frequency drone of the traffic usually takes a bit of extra airspace to help with.

Can they flip that IGU and put the laminated glass light on the outside facing lite?

- Soft-Lite
- Sunrise
- Okna
- Polaris
- Kensington Quantum 2

Where is the home? Those two won't usually be on the top 5 recommendations list for most of the pros that deal in vinyl.

Even in the cases of short term usage projections, I find that folks are both happier and get a better ROI on their window selection if they go with a good mid-range product vs. an entry level. By all accounts, both products in question would fit the "entry range" descriptor and in this case, occupy...

I wasn't aware they had an 0.02 on their air number. That must be new, but everything else looks pretty solid. Sunrise is one of the often recommended brands.
