On my old windows the thing that really cracked it for me was that all the new windows even if very expensive had cheap plastic or pot metal handles while the old windows had cast brass handles and native yellow poplar which is nearly impervious to rot.
Buy new windows and replace them in 20 years or repair the old ones and perhaps repair them again in 20 years. There will never be any native poplar in the future.
