Kurt,

I expect where you are gets more sun than here in the rainy NW, but it's 
been shown here that larger windows, with or without thermal mass, just 
doesn't offset the grater loss. Maybe one of the sources mentioned takes 
solar availability into account. 

Also keep in mind that many low-e windows don't let through more than 
50% of the solar heating gain. You should look for windows with high 
solar transmittance, at least for the south side.
