Default aluminium arched georgian bar double-glazed window quote

Had quote for 1660 GBP for an aluminium arched georgian bar
double-glazed window.
I told her I wanted the glazing bars fake, i.e. not separate panes.
So 3 panes, left lower casement, right lower fixed light, upper arched
fixed light.
Dims: square area 900mm wide x 975 vertical. Curved section 375mm high.
ASCII art (but obviously curved in top section.

OK, would be expensive-ish for the frame. But she also talked about
"specially curved" glass, which makes me suspicious. You see the curved
glass units in double-glazed front doors all over the place.
I will try and find out the manufacturer of the frame profiles, and
check how much mark-up they are making for my quote.
Anyone know how much a curved double-glazed unit would cost ?
Anyone know how I could get this cheaper ?
I could have PVCu, but the frames will be rather too bulky.
