With old sealers maybe 5-20 years, who knows now how long, even so
considering all the other benefits, low E, dual pane, higher R, Uv
protection, air infiltration etc etc new is still the way to go

With all of those features comes a higher price. You have to figure that
in when calculating payback. In many cases the windows never pay for
themselves (in money), because they fail and have to be replaced before
the energy savings pay for the extra cost. The added comfort thogh can
be priceless.
