I agree that a decision should not be based on that alone, however it is what it is, and should not be completely discounted. There are only a handful (no more than a dozen on the list that I saw) of the hundreds if not thousands of companies nationwide that were singled out by the FTC. The actions must be pretty egregious to warrant such a response, and it raises an eyebrow at the very least. I believe that several of the other companies on that list are now out of business. Often times there may not be one big hairy issue that indicates the way a company does business, but an array of smaller things that can fly under the radar can often establish a pattern. Take it for what it's worth.

Builder Bob, you seem to have a real bone to pick with okna for some reason, that seems to be clouding your judgement. Looks like homeseald laid the ratings out above, I cant really say much more besides those facts. Makes no difference to me, but I think the vast majority of people disagree with you. You should probably stick to building stuff and leave windows to the window guys. Cut rate builders are probably the only guys that would like a cut rate product. Best of luck my friend. It will be interesting to read back through this in a couple of years if they are still around. Your posts kind of sound like you are trying to make this an advertisement for vytex, but you forgot its not that great of a window:

I’d say yes since they are known to sag without. I thought they only had reinforcements at the meeting rails l, not all the way around nor in the frame.

Huh? Miter brands' (MI) recent merger with PGT alone was worth 3.1 billion dollars. They are also part of KII which is over $125 billion in revenue and one of the largest companies in the US in any industry. Plygem was something like $6 billion. At the end of the day both are billion dollar companies and EXTRAORDINARILY large (for better and/or worse), but to state that "plygem is much larger" is incorrect and frankly irrelevant based on the overall size of these "mega" companies. Being someone that sells neither, has installed both, my opinion is that the Sunrise window is superior. The assure isn't even near the top of the Simonton line up, its a entry level, cost-based window not intended to compete with a premium unit like Sunrise and others. There are very few times in life where cheaper will be found to be better, and this is certainly not one of them.
