Yes. The side of the house with the blown cellulose in the ceiling and old school FG batt in the walls is defninitely comfortable, but is more prone to temp variances. The newer side stays much more consistent.
The analytical side of me says that there's too many variables to really do a fair apples to apples comparison to say its just due to the insulation, but that's the single biggest difference old to new and has a higher R value, no air gaps or pockets from not being pushed in all the way etc, so it's going to get the credit until proven otherwise.
Where I really appreciated it was in the installation. In and out in 1 day. Really sped up the build. We had the inspections done, insulation put in, and drywall up with a first coat of mud on in the span of 4 days. Cost-wise, I think it was about a wash.
