The portables might do the job, but it really depends on your definition of "doing the job."
If you're prepared to leave the unit on 24/7, you might get by with a smaller unit, perhaps 8000-1000 BTUs.
Consider the ductless split system. They don't require the extra labor for ductwork, particularly since you already have fans to circulate the air. I'd grab a 12000 BTU (1 ton) setup. For a few more $, 18000 BTU (1.5 ton) would be great. It would keep you really cool. You're looking at $650 for the 1 ton on eBay and a few hundred more for the 1.5 ton. A competent A/C guy could install this in a few hours.
