Home Improvements?

I want to replace the existing windows in my home with the energy saving windows that are always advertised. My question is: has anyone replaced theirs recently-if so, did you choose the double pane or the triple pane windows. The triple cost about $15,000 to replace the ones in the upstairs of my house, and the double might only be around $6,000. However, if the energy savings is vastly different, then it would be worthwhile to pay more for the better “quality.” I am also thinking in terms of resale value-which would net more, the double, triple or does it matter? Thanks for your help!
The winters are pretty chilly, sometimes in low negative digits, and the summers get up too the 110′s +-I live in the Midwest. Does anyone remember how much they paid?

i am a ticketed glazier and i can tell you that you are wasting money if you go triple. windows, as a general rule do not provide much R value as it is (R5 if i remember correctly). the additional insulation value with triple glazed is so small that it wouldn’t even be noticed. save your money and go with high quality double glazed.
