You will see a lot of CYV that have done this.
P.S.
I have changed doors and added storm doors myself in the past, but decided to sell most of my tools before moving here.
Besides, to me it is not worth the aggrevation of getting the things to fit right.
Also, the Storm doors that are sold in Lowe's and HD are not left or right. You have to bore the hole for the handle, etc. I used a Dremel to make the hole and it was a pain. If I had to do it again I would have hired someone.

As for a door with a glass pane in it, there is a company that will take your existing door and cut out the middle and put in a glass pane in a 1-2 hour time frame. I don't know the name but they advertise in the Daily Sun and a search will find them in TOTV. I did the search.

They are http://entrypointglass.com
