Randy, you don't understand the products correctly. Andersen is a wood window, not a vinyl window. It has a vinyl cladding on it, but that is completely different than a vinyl window. It is generally considered the highest end type product out there. The classes of product are roughly vinyl, fiberglass, wood framed but aluminum clad and then wood framed but vinyl clad. There are some windows that are a complete composite material such as Fibrex and there are a few residential windows that are pure aluminum but those are more commercial. Millard is also a vinyl clad wood product.

So the Andersen product is the best one you're looking at. Millard will be about the same. I don't know why anyone would pay more for a Millgard. Either Marvin or Andersen's wood clad product is excellent. I'd pick Andersen, but I'm a bit biased.
