The other factor to consider is solar gain if you can get it. If so, a lot of glass can be a good thing.

My in-laws have an all glass front house. Even with the weather this past few weeks, if the sun is out, it will get amazingly warm in their house in the afternoon as they face southwest. Thankfully they have shade trees and a lot of doors that open to counteract this effect in the summertime.
