Neat glass and other self-cleaning coatings: blessing or curse?

Looking at new windows and Neat Glass from Cardinal is an option. Titanium dioxide coating with “self-cleaning” properties. Looks like there is a 10 year warranty, but I’d like to hear opinions, mostly for long term ownership. I’m afraid it could turn into a streaky mess once the coating begins to degrade unevenly.

Mai Tai, this in mainly a bump, but my uneducated opinion is to be wary. Maybe someone else here has done more research on the topic.
I see that "Pilkington claim that the coating will last the lifetime of the window frame."
I see no reason that the coating would degrade unevenly.
What did you end up doing and what was result of Neat Windows? We are looking at these now. Thanks!
