My wife and I are trying to decide between a few different inserts at the moment. The Neo 1.6 does not qualify for the 25d tax credit, while the The Princess & I2500 do. Not sure how that'll all shake out price-wise when all is said and done.
We're still collecting estimates from the various sellers around us but from a purely specs standpoint, manufacturer reliability, warranty, etc., I would really appreciate any insight.

We have a 2-story, ~1700 sq ft house in upstate NY. It gets cold here so trying to find something that'll look nice and give us some relief from these crazy oil prices.

Thank you!
