About right, yes. Might be a little more. His bigger window will be about
600$, maybe 700$

The company i have purchased from 3 times sells low-e, argon, doublehung,
foamfilled frames for $300. This includes any size as long as one width and
one height added together are less than 101".

oh, ya, and that's installed.

i seriously wonder how long any gas remains sealed in?

windows move, shake, and are subject to wide temperature changes.

Well i asked the guy about that, and was told they are actually not 'sealed'
but there is no reason for the gas to leave. Argon does not expand and
contract, so therefore the cavity does not 'breathe'. ?? Who's to say?
And how could you ever prove it was gone? <G>
