The other thing I've kept thinking about is the replacement interval , material input (compressor, refrigerant, etc.) and ease of maintenance. They generally have a lifetime of 10 years IIRC.

They generally have a lifetime of 10 years IIRC. The compressor and refrigerant should never have to be replaced as a maintenance item. The compressor should be cleaned off occasionally since it's outdoors, especially if you live in an area with high dust/pollen, but that's no different than an AC. The interior air handler maintenance is the same as for any furnace or AC system. The lifetime is also similar to a similarly built AC.
