Thanks, WoW. I did do some more browsing and came up with these options, installed prices. All have white finish and standard white hardware and Low-E glass. 80" x 72" with mini-blinds.

Okna Elegante $2350.00.

Sunrise $2400.00.

Soft-Lite about $3400.00.

Simonton Inovo about $2900.00.

I was told the Okna is argon filled. I haven't talked in detail with the Sunrise dealer. I was thinking that I could not get argon with mini-blinds. Can someone confirm that?

Also I was told the Okna has a lifetime warranty on the door, including the blinds and accidental glass breakage. Does that sound correct?

Any opinions on the above listed options? I'm thinking the choice is between Okna and Sunrise unless someone can justify the higher prices of the other two.

Thanks for your help.

Now you are making me question my own mind. Pretty sure it is no argon but does come Low-e equip. The accidental thing is don't 3rd party here. Okna does not offer accidental glass breakage here. Both the Okna and Sunrise are great doors. Can't go wrong with either.

+1. Okna and Sunrise are my 2 favorite doors. I'd probably still have the Softlite door in that top tier, but definitely not worth any premium. I would suggest comparing install details and installation company reputation however, as that certainly CAN justify a premium for any of those products.

Thanks for the response, gentlemen. Can someone confirm or deny about Okna having lifetime warranty on the mini-blinds and also argon gas with mini-blinds?

I called Okna and they said that whatever the dealer tells me is accurate and wouldn't independently answer.

This forum is a terrific resource!!

No argon to my knowledge and they do warranty the blinds mechanisms.

I'll add that Sunrise also has a lifetime warranty on the mini blinds and no argon. I could be wrong but I don't think I have seen a door or window with the blind/argon combo. But some do have blind/ low-e

I just replaced a patio door. I wanted one with inset blinds but here in Marion County Fl they do not meet code compliance due to the blinds scraping off the. E coating inside. Cannot get approval. Supposedly they will consider Pella soon but for a 6' the cost was $×,300 for door only without installation. I had to do another plain old's patio door- but what a difference!! I had heavy lined drapes over the 2006 ?? Installed door by previous owner. It heated the room from southern sun greatly. With new I have not put drapery back up and even with record hot summer there isn't heat buildup. Yea!! That's my story and I'm sticking, to it!
