I've narrowed my choices to two windows...looking to what the experts think. I'm leaning towards the Simonton because in addition to exceeding the NFRC guidelines, the fact sheet states the U Factor and SHGC are for the whole window, not just center glass. Does anyone know about the Soft-Lite Imperial LS in terms of U-Factor and SHGC being center of glass vs. whole window?
I also can't find the VT and Condensation Resistance ratings for the Simonton to make the best comparison.
Soft-Lite Imperial LS vs Simonton 6500
Re: Soft-Lite Imperial LS vs Simonton 6500
If you are looking at the Simonton 6500, then you must be seeing it at Home Depot. I'd contact a local Simonton Dealer and get a quote on either the Prism Platinum or the Reflections 5500.

I think that Simonton and Softlite both make fine products, although if your only concern is numbers, the LS will win regardless of glass package .
