Remember when the kids were young, and there would be a period when they [the kids] would attempt to use "THEY" as an authority ~~ from "they" stay up to ten on school nights to "they" get a new box of crayons, and "they" don't have to finish the homework before going out to play. Whenever this happened, I always told the kids to give me name and phone number and I would be glad to consult with whoever "they" were, but otherwise my word was final. I don't think I ever had to consult. But the methodology is still effective: if you don't have a real name and contact for any "they" cited, then you're likely better off ignoring whatever "they" are claiming.

The mull will bother me too I think although I will have to learn to live with it since it is already installed. It really looks great unless you are standing where the sink will be. . . I don't have a window at my sink now - my sink is in a peninsula overlooking the breakfast room with windows - so I guess it is an improvement??? I got the casement mainly because I am also getting the wolf with charbroiler. I have a big cfm blower but it is remote and I am worried about smoke so I wanted to be able to open my kitchen window to help with that. Of course, the awful Kolbe salesperson or Kolbe themselves sent an inoperable casement. Who puts an inoperable *casement* over their sink - the whole point is that they are easy to open! It will be fixed - needless to say! Sorry for the sidetrack vent - our casements have two vertical lights per row so they match up great with the double hung (I was very insistent about this with my architect). Not sure if I have a good picture but can take one tomorrow. Of course it has a huge mull so it may not be what you want - I agree with chisue that a triple casement is perfect.

It's made by Pulaski and the collection is Espaigne. I believe it's discontinued. I've seen this in person and it's really impressive.

That would pretty much be my short list. Quantum 2, Innovations, Okna, Vanguard and Restorations.
