Nice! I see you do let a little sunlight in once in a while.;-)
We've bitten the bullet and are having all 11 of our windows replaced. They are in production now, each one custom made. The old ones (1980's) were all leaking and lacked modern coatings making keeping the house warm in Flagstaff winters difficult and allowing too much high altitude UV sunlight in during the summer. I feel your pain. Anyway, total cost, just over 10 grand for the job. Ouch! All are triple pane with modern coatings. The house should be toasty next winter and cooler later this summer. Installation should be in a month or so. Lifetime warranty on windows and labor, so I'm happy with the decision.
Have a great weekend!

We changed out all of our windows about two years ago. It was around 24 grand for 26 total installed. We don't require triple pane, but got double pane with laminated glass for hurricanes. The glass is like windshield glass. Ours are also guaranteed for life.
I'm sure we save some on energy costs, but what I noticed most was that they reduced outside noise substantially. They also let less light through. This was noticeable as they changed one next to an old one. Once they were all in, the light difference was no longer noticeable.
I had the lower level Windows replaced all of them a decade ago, gas bill was about 1/3 for heating, electric bill cut more than half.
