Manufacturers actually spent some $$$ on the design of the fan units so they aren't just a big white box on the wall now.

I looked casually when I got into the HVAC world out of college and today's systems are light years better and WAY cheaper.
I have 3200 Square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 4 bathrooms, dining room, kitchen and an office. And we already have the ducting in. It would be huge labor for that many heads on multiple mini-split systems.
