You missed the point. I would take a high-end version of a brand you look down on over a builder grade Carrier. All brands have many different price points. I doubt there is much difference between brands at the same price point. The quality of the installation is probably more important than the brand. I can't speak for all houses in The Villages but the Carrier system installed in my house was actually not the builder grade system.

The comment on how well the builder grade Carrier systems have lasted here in the Villages is a testiment to Carrier's design and build quality.
