Default Energy Star Compliant Doors

See if they've been rated by The National Fenestration Rating Council
http://www.nfrc.org/ They're a non-profit organization that rates window,
doors and skylights. The web site explains the NFRC label and provides a
directory of certified products.

How important is this notation when looking at doors? I am comparing HD's
"Feather River" doors and a "Therma-Tru" door, both fiberglass. I like

the
looks of the latter door much better, but it says nothing about "Energy
Star" stuff on the literature, while the former says it is compliant in

all
50 states.

Is this notation just a marketing thing, or should I take it into account
for comparison? The doors seem similarly constructed, with foam cores and
triple-pane glass.
