Double-glazing - how helpful for heat retention?

I have a conservatory that has poor windows and them god awful plastic sheeting in and was built in the 80's, I have two options take the windows out with the plastic roof or get rid of the lot and save myself bag loads of money and have a lovely patio already to use! Anyone done this?

Not easily quantifiable, but modern units will also create fewer convection currents and radiate out less heat, thus improving comfort and allowing you to heat the room less. This is because a room at the same temperature feels warmer if there is no air movement.

Pretty much the whole back of my old townhouse was glass, if its like that it might well be worth it just on comfort grounds.
