I was in a similar position when we bought our house seven years ago. Replacing the previous owner installed vinyl windows with Pella was ridiculous. For a couple grand more we went with Art Glass Millwork custom wood windows. They even blew out wall and installed taller arched wood windows across all the bedrooms and much larger view windows in the living spaces. The difference in cost was surprisingly small.
The only PITA is that seven years in, the wood frames on the south facing side could use painting...$3500???
