Might even look at a dual room set up, which apparently is possible, just more money. But I think I’m gonna go for quality on this one. I don’t plan on moving any time soon and with temps the way they are trending I’d like to make sure I’m set up to be comfortable.
Install with condo board approval isn’t an issue. They have guidelines. Just need a reputable installer.

IIRC when I did the research, the incremental cost of adding a room to a mini-split wasn't much. Maybe $500-1000 per extra depending on how far it was from the main unit. I think each unit could do 3-5 rooms depending on size of the room.
I went with upstairs only central AC over mini-split though.
Absolutely do the multi room and multi region option so that you can essentially control temps in different areas. Far easier to do now than later down the line and you can save on cooling costs by cooling only the areas you need vs AC all over the place mixing with the warm air elsewhere.
