I’m collecting bids on windows for my house.
Andersen (400 series), via Home Depot, comes in at $8700. Lead time 33 business days (ouch).
Marvin (Integrity), via local lumber yard, comes in at $8200. Lead time 3weeks
Is this even a competition? Are these two windows even in the same class? Should I look at Marvin Ultimate windows? I’ve found some bad things about Marvin, but can’t seem to find anything bad about Andersen and my limited experience with Andersen is positive.

yeah but what's your experience with home depot!!!!?????
Well that is a consideration, which is why I selectively only bid windows with them. I have ordered a few windows from them before and they came in when they said they would and it all worked pretty well. My local Home Depot is actually on the decent side.
But I'm not relying on them for things that can't wait a few extra days.
