Patio doors

I've just had three quotes from the same company for patio doors. My preference is for aluminium and I would like bronze RAL (outside) with white interior, and French doors, although this is the expensive option.

I'd welcome opinions please. The supplier is a local company that has come recommended.

The rough size is (door measured not frame)

150w x 210h

Here are the quotes:

To Supply and fit as follows:
To supply and fit 1 x Rosewood UPVc French door set.

    I just googled similar and they appear to be around 8/900 to buy the door, allowing for fitting the first quote seems a bit cheap but both of the others seem to be charging over £1500 for fitting.. perhaps get another quote and see where that falls... we had our 2 bed house double glazed with French Doors fitted last year the doors were a little over £600 but were plain white UPVC..

    Any other views on this please? The aluminium frames are Vevo (if that makes any difference).
    Thanks
