I'm 75% sure you are right. (other option in my mind is that that the air out of the ducts is colder and when you hit that you feel colder)

But then the question becomes why is this system doing a better job at de-humidification than my old system . . . .


Another note My A/C guy said that my ducts are undersized (volume/ time) for 4 tons of air; *just* large enough for 3 tons of air. Not sure if that affects de-humidification; but it was definitely affecting the load on the old blower motor (drew just under 1000 watts). I want to test the new blower motor draw when I get a chance.
Of course the funny thing is the guy who commented about the duct size; was the guy who designed + installed the ducts in the first place.
