I am planning on putting 1-2" of rigid foam between the studs, not cover/seal them completely. The cellulose will be covering the rest of everything. Is that not enough? Would dense pack cellulose even allow wood to dry behind it? I've heard it doesn't let air through hardly at all.

I'm not sure if I'll continue using the 925 series Serious Windows upstairs, or if I'll just downgrade to a lower series model. It really just depends how much I like these windows and how they perform this coming winter.
