I also know a variable speed motor is more likely to break and is more costly to repair, but again no quantitative information.
Both units are 15 seer and have an $410 difference.
Any advice?

We got a top of the line Infinity Carrier unit a few years ago. They said it was more efficient and more comfortable. I had my doubts, but honestly, you could really tell the difference in comfort as the temps seemed to stay very constant. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Not sure it has a variable speed handler, but it is a two stage unit. Highly recommended. Hope that helps.
