Variable speed compressors are more expensive to buy, but do save energy. The "pay back" is likely going to about 5-7 years.

They do much better job at maintaining a constant temperature, probably +/- 1 degree, rather than 3. A 2 Stage might be reasonable compromise.

Here's a link that will tell you more about it.
