Which one would you choose if they were to cost exactly the same???

I am not sure. I am having the same problem except with Anderson vs Vetter. I like the Vetter window but I do not know to much about them and am getting conflicting stories from different window suppliers. They are also coming out to be the same price so that is not the deciding factor. Plus a have heard the Vetter window is comparable to the Marvin Window, but that I hear from one that the Vetter service is great and then I hear from someone else that the Vetter service is horrible.

If you do not mind me asking, Why did you pick Vetter?

Hmmm... I guess I was set on Norcos (which are quite popular in Chicago area) but found a supplier who would sell the Vetters @ about the same price. Plus, the Vetters
look very well made. Having said that, I think I am going to settle for Caradcos. Local Menards sell them and they seem to be made quite well. On top of that, I will be saving about $5K :) The warranty is about the same as most other reputable manufacturers and supposably the service is quite good. Caradco is part of Jeld-Wen family of products, which also include Norco, Pozzi, Summit, Stegbar, United, Wenco, and Willmar - just to name the window manufacturers.
