"Casements or sliders? Personally, I've always preferred sliders because they're simple and easy to operate. Someone pointed out that casement windows have the advantage when it comes to maximizing the view since there's no meeting rail running through the middle. That said, I'm probably overthinking this. What should I realistically expect to pay for a standard-sized vinyl slider window installed? I'm just trying to get a sense of what a fair price range looks like these days."

Editor's Advice:
Nell, I don't think your overthinking it - this is your home. Having said that, if convenience and ease of use are your top priorities, sliders might be the better option for you. It's also worth thinking about long term - many homeowners find casement windows last longer with better energy efficiency as they get older, as long as the crank mechanism does not go bad.
In terms of price, this is tough to nail down - but for a medium sized slider in a premium vinyl brand, you might be looking at $1100 fully installed. For a mid-range brand, you might be looking at $800 installed.
