Default STATEWIDE Windows (also vs. other brands)

I hear you loud and clear chester!

My wife and I made the *HORRIBLE* mistake of scheduling a Statewide
visit the other day. Our experience is almost identical to yours in
every regard.

Particularly vexing for my wife and I was that the original rep who
scheduled our appointment (baiting us with a $25 gasoline card) said
it'd be a 60-90min presentation. She was right, if by 60-90min you
mean FOUR HOURS. Never mind the whole pressure cooker "you must make a
$20k decision right now (or you're an idiot)" pitch.

The whole experience was replete with every manner of cheap salesperson
tricks and lead-questions that I was embarassed to answer: "Now, would
you want to pay twice as much money for a window that's half as good ?"
Well, duh. Can I have those 5 seconds of my life back, please?

However, I was still impressed with the windows, but I'm a window
neophyte. I'd be interested if others have any feedback/data on
Uniframe windows...are they any good? I've heard mixed reviews about
Argon/Krypton filled gaps, i.e., leakage, too much money for too little
benefit, etc...

Anyway, yikes. Stay away folks. Unless you want to burn four hours in
the front row of an infomercial, stay away!
