You pays for what you gets. When you get a quote of £1399.0 0 or whatever as implied by the dodgy radio ads for [insert iffy window installer company name here - they aren't worth the publicity of me naming them!] these will be for the most basic extrusions, and maybe one opener if you're lucky. When they get their salesman through the door you'll find out the real costs of all those added extras which should be regarded as essential.
Internal glazing has to be a better option than external. Double sided tape may reduce the ease of getting the frame apart, but if you do need to replace the glass (even if the glass doesn't break, the seal can fail leading to condensation or misting of the double galzed pane), you don't want to wreck the frame and beading by levering against adhesive.
