For what it's worth.
I have a PPG with the blue tint on the top. Total cost for glass and
installation was 180 from Acme glass here in College Station, TX.   I'm very
happy with it.  I'm 6 foot even and have no problems with the blue tint on
top, I actually prefer it.  I provided them with a new window seal.
