But, as a general rule, my answer w/ Pella is kinda' like the old story
of the guy in the (pick your favorite) automobile showroom--if you have
to ask, you can't afford it.

Well I think I can -- I jus want to know what I am paying for.

Regarding cars, I once went to lease one. The first price they
offered me was $450. I mentioned that I looked on the Internet, and
this immediately dropped the asking price below $400. Eventually I
leased from another dealer for $330.

Just because you can afford something doesn't mean you should allow
them to rob you.
