Not in a Landmark district are you? That can be a game changer.
We usually spec Marvin, or if need be custom, double insulated Low e glass in mahogany sash/frame with bronze zero weatherstripping with profiles matching the original units.
The weatherstripping is as critical as the glass, if not more so- crack leakage is raw pressure differential air flow vs thermal delta thru glass.
Retrofitting weatherstripping to existing decent shape units is very cost effective- and if the window profile is deep enough (IE the windows were high quality when installed) you can retrofit double pane glass...
With interior moldings being important, need to look at units that fit in existing sash space.
