Welcome to Breaktime.
I don't often agree with the box employee but this case he's right. There's no use unless you plan on keeping your prime door open for the view and want to try to contain some heat in the house. More important if on a Sunny Side of the house is to have a prime door that isn't a dark color. Baking in between even single strength storms can cause the prime door to warp, peel, blister and the plastic glass trim to bend and crack.
Here's something real important. Find the Browns a Tight End, hell, why stop there.
Best of luck.
