Soften the Blow on Higher End Windows

Howdy Chitown,

On my rentals I've used $250 windows, they work just fine. White vinyl, they are never used.   Now, I need some higher end windows.  I have installers that can do them for $100 a pop.  Is it worth the time and effort to get windows online, there are a few companies out there, or is there a way to get discounts on Pella or Andersen or similar higher end quality windows?

The windows are 6 feet tall by 46, 32, etc.

Any tips?

@Frank S. I just did a big window job on one of my buildings in Berwyn, and I am constantly shocked at the markup on windows. Do you need high end windows for a flip? Do you need a color other than white? The installer I used put in Newtec windows which I was happy with due to the price and over all value. They sell their casement windows in black which I though looked pretty high end with no big price difference.
