house window question - Milgard

[markem]

Not cigar related, but I'm asking around in many places because I know chit about windows.

Our 10 year old house has some rot problems around almost all windows on the south side of the house (which faces into the weather). The problem isn't caulk or poor maintenance, but appears to be improper installation by the builder (now protected by bankruptcy) and their installer (who successfully argued in court last year that 'it wasn't their fault they did what the builder wanted'). All of which means that the repairs and such are on my nickle.

As long we will be having work done around the windows, it makes sense to consider putting in new windows (effing hate that our 'high end' builder used bargain basement 'lowest bid by far' windows). Two of the 5 windows have had failures that were repaired by the builder a few years ago, but peace of mind may be worth throwing a few grand at this as long as that side of the house is opened up.

We are considering Milgard Tuscany 3D windows, based on recommendations of friends who have replaced windows in the past couple of years. Anyone here have experience with them?

We are hoping to have the contractor working on the trim/rot issues by next week and haven't talked with them about what they think with regards to window replacement. The three main contractors (window/trim specialist) we are talking to are recommended by people we absolutely trust and so don't think that they will try to take us for a ride (caveat emptor, I know)

Anyway, anyone have knowledge or experience on these windows that they would be willing to share in the thread or via PM?
