Interesting, we've had our Pellas since 1982 with minimal problems. 3 of them don't seal as good as they used to, but they are better than the Anderson's my neighbor replaced long ago. Did your rot from the inside or out? Every 5 years or so I touch up the sash on the bottom with poly to protect the wood.
I also put in three Pellas in 2003 doing a remodel and they are awesome. They are a substantial better design than the 1982 ones.
These were the pella pro line casement windows. They rotted on the bottom like crumble in your hands rotten. Water sat under the wood and couldn't drain away due to the design from outside in.
