Thoughts on replacing front/rear windows with new?

Can't say I'm unhappy with the condition of these window frames. The guy I've hired to remove/install the windows with stainless frames charged me $40 to remove these, and he wants another $160 to reinstall. He's got 30 years experience, and comes highly recommended.

He suggests new windows. $65 each for front and rear. They're tinted green like the originals, only the front has a blue (darker) tint band on top. The new windshields are thinner, and he says "hold onto the old one, you never know". The current windshield is pitted and the rear has some scratches. This is a ground up restoration.......Curious what your thoughts are for replacements?

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
