I think what I really want is this sort of thing, but nicer looking:
French doors with sidelights, but with less chunky frames.

Not heard of them, but their published Uw values are very high (not good), meaning the actual values will be even worse. Also, the seals on sliding/bifold type doors are generally poor compared to the compression seals found on French/casement doors, meaning poor airtightness that only gets worse over time as the seals wear.
Whether the above matters to you is another thing entirely; sometimes initial cost trumps comfort/ongoing savings...
