Thanks, there's a lot of info there.

My upstairs is very oddly shaped - see the slideshow in my first post. There's a small foyer area, a bedroom, and the computer room that sit above the two downstairs rooms I want to put the unit in for. Above them is a crawlspace, no real attic. It's full of R-38 insulation ON TOP OF some R-13/R-19 that was there. We had to add the insulation to be able to get a gov't grant for first time home buyers. The rooms upstairs often hold heat 3 to 5 degrees warmer than downstairs.

The floors downstairs have R-19 between them and the basement.

I'll get some better pics and measurements over the weekend, but I hope that this info helps. I'd feel better with the 18,000; maybe we should just scrimp the extra $500 together for it?
