So Little more flexibility with the Marvin but at the same time the durability and consistency of the pre-finished aluminum is appealing. If we compare the coating with a similar U-factor as the Pella window of. The SHGC is. The end resulting R-value of 4. All in all the Marvin window appears to perform better with a higher R-value and more visible light transmission.
Sound Transmission Class The sound transmission class is a rating to measure the amount of sound resistance an assembly has. The higher the rating the higher the resistance to sound transmission. Just because of the nature of the glass there will be some sound transmission. Pella has a rating of 25 stc and Marvin has a rating of 27 stc. So I would say the are the same or equal.

Pella features the factory installed self-aligning surface mounted sash lock. The finish is baked enamel in 5 colors.
Champagne color locks are standard on unfinished units and White is standard on primed white units. The Pella locks are advertised as being cam-action locks that increase the leverage as the window is closed to assure a weathertight seal. Marvin hardware is a touch above the Pella factory installed hardware. The design of the hardware is more fluid has a contemporary look.
The colors are available in 5 standard colors. Pella offers something marvin does not when it comes to screens. They offer more light transmission and will be less obstructive to your view.
Marvin did not highlight their screens other than to say that they are standard and ship with each operating window at no extra cost. Each screen will be an extra charge when choosing Pella. But, I did want to mention that they offer a retractable screen for their casement windows. So the screen is concealed to one side until pulled out across the window. Since the window on casements swing out the screen is on the inside of the room.

The exterior standard colors are White, Tan, Putty or Brown. There are 23 other feature colors but custom colors is not an option.

First commenter has a point about the light factor. If you feel you need fabric drapery to soften the space to balance the harder finishes of stone, wood furniture and leather sofa, than it is understandable that you feel the room would benefit from using your drapery.
Second commenter has the perfect solution for the spacing of your windows that you have. If your drapery is somewhat sheer it will add softness and still allow some light into the room. If they are not sheer, but are a solid colour or a pattern, they will also add visual interest and another layer to the room which will enhance the room if the colour or pattern compliments the items in your room.
You most likely will have the drapery open during the day to still allow some light into the space, but can be pulled across in the evening for coziness and privacy. Any drapery does cut out SOME of the natural light and the addition of floor lamp or table lamps to make adequate lighting is always important. Pretty room! We use a double shade on the same head rail all the time Im assuming you mean two shades that operate independently of each other but on the same head rail, one for light filtering and one for room darkening correct?
As long as you have the depth in the window casing there is no problem. I wouldn't do 2 roller shades though, I would use a roller shade on the interior and maybe a woven wood shade, roman shade or something more decorative for the light filtering,. Would wood blinds for 72" x 60" window be too heavy to raise and lower Q.
If you're prone to raising and lowering a lot, or want windows mostly unobstructed during daylight hours I would do neither blind or shutter. I'd select a different treatment. But shutters feel quite finished and need no other treatment to look very good. Blinds leave you wanting curtain panels alongside. Perhaps a shade in a woven wood, a Silhouette shade or something else? Casement window crank is in the way of wooden blind slats Q. We just bought a house with casement windows and cranks. So far we have no window treatments and no privacy as I really don't like outside mounts for shades.
These are 30 yr old Andersen windows and their in great shape. I found 2 solutions. One, very affordable - I ordered a couple Anderson T-handles from Amazon very affordable to try them out - they had all the colors and VERY easy to do myself. That's probably what I'll do. However, I also called Anderson windows and you can replace the whole mechanism with a newer folding crank that would totally fix the issue.
If one is present, measure from the obstruction to the edge of the window frame. If your windows are beveled, measure the flattest and largest section of the beveling. Once you know your window depth, you can check it against the depth requirements for the blinds or shades you have in mind.
These requirements can be found under the Measuring Instructions and Specifications section on the product page. On the product page, look for the Minimum Inside Mount Depth Requirement which varies on every product and every brand. This is the minimum amount of space the bracket and install hardware need in order to be secured safely. Compare this requirement with your measurement to be sure you have enough surface for the bracket to be installed.
Be aware that your headrail may stick out from the window slightly.
