Argon is also heavier than air, I watched a "How It's Made" episode on how they fill them.
They take a small hose and insert it into a hole at the top of the window and slowly fill it so the argon replaces the air, then they cap off the hole.

The new double pane argon filled low-e 2 glass horizontal slider windows I installed recently (I got a great deal on Craigslist from a couple who bought them new but never installed them) definitely make a big difference in heat/noise reduction where I closed in my lanai and made a sun room out of it. It was well worth it to me since I got them cheap and did the installation myself

Will you ever see an ROI on a window investment if you buy new and have them installed? Doubt it, since most people don't stay in their homes long term these days, but it's more comfortable and quieter for sure while you're there, and it's a selling point if you have upgraded them in an older home!
