This is good advice. I sold and installed all manor of doors and windows for 25 years. The biggest benefits to new windows is quiet and clean, followed by comfort as drafts are dramatically reduced. That means better overall temperature control for the whole house.

If you or anyone has any specific questions, post them here or PM me. I can even arrange for a discount purchase. But you will have to do the work yourself which isn't difficult (until it comes to patio doors).
