    350 per window
    there wont be a lot of price difference in glazing options
    labour is labour

    In general does it make economic sense to replace glazing of that age? Are the frames normally still efficient and sound proof relative to new frames?

    I dunno, frames are sound, not concerned about soundproofing, seems a shame to tear them out when they look and perform adequately.
    We got a price for replacements (entire incl frame), its only marginally dearer!

    Had Energlaze quote me 6,500 to replace 6 windows and a patio door (U value of 0.36 iirc) so if your quote was the same U-value then 14 windows for 5,000 seems cheap in comparison.
