My last house has a trane unit and I had zero complaints.
After the last two months it looks like my 16 seer unit is around 15 cents to run an hour (using the math above) which in my opinion is well worth it as the house was actually cold yesterday when it was so stupid hot.

Excellent recommendation, I too would enjoy buying something designed for our winters. Is that the only manufacturer that does this? Who did you have install it?
I have a dual furnace set up and I was wondering if it would be worth it to have 2 x 1.5t units or one 3t unit, or if that would even be practical. Would be interesting to speak with someone who does that for an opinion.
