Am I giving up anything by using the "replacement" style?? They certainly

Smarty, I'd say it depends on why you are replacing them? If it's for
energy efficiency (say the old ones are single pane etc) but that the frames
are fine, then replacements will do well as long as the frame 'fits' the new
ones. That would be my first check.

Are you planning to do it yourself? Or have a contractor? We had some done
by a contractor who did a wonderful job.
