Windows & Doors - Aberdeen (or Scotland)

Firstly, I know to avoid any company that says your wife has to be there, or that the price is only available if you order now.
But I have had some quotes from local companies that are well known in Aberdeen (Thistle, Bon Accord, MTC) and just received a phone call from a Glasgow based company, that I don't know, but if anyone has dealt with I would appreciate their verdict. (GoldSeal Homecare. They were certainly impressive on the phone, and gave me a straight quote on price that beat the others.)
All appear to have been around for over 20 years. 3 of them offer a 10 year guarantee that can be transferred to new home owner with no fee. I really can't believe the other charge to do so. They also were the only ones that said I had to order now to guarantee price. And they were the most expensive!
Quote is for 5 windows and a standard sized door, where 1 window is 2100 wide x 1200 high, and would require 2 sections (1 T&T and 1 fixed), and the others are just single section tilt & turn about 1170 x 1170 or slightly smaller. Smallest is 1170 x 1000.
All just in White.
The quotes have ranged from £3,040 to £4,300 - with the best price being from the Glasgow based company - who do seem to have all the necessary guarantees and kite marks.
I guess my question is should I go with the cheapest quote, which seems very good compared to the highest - or can I expect lower?
And of course, any company recommendations, or warnings, are more than welcome. Whether about the 4 companies above, or others.
