I believe Pella used to be Larson. I thought the quality went down. Features on each door will be more important than the brand name. Look for a thicker frame, welded frames etc.

Base models will perform poorly so get mid price or higher if you plan on using it for years to come.

One of the best features IMO is the half screen that coils when you drop the storm window. I love that.
