To keep it simple.
Single speed systems are typically not as comfortable as variable speed systems. It’s also important to have the correct size single speed systems for best comfort and humidity control.
Variable speed systems are far better at keeping comfortable, better humidity control, easier on the wear and tear parts, will cost more up front but will save in the long run.
We stayed in a Lifestyle visit single speed system house and I was bitching up a storm on its lack of humidity control and lack of comfort.
We opted for a (mid level) variable speed system on our new build and I am soooooo happy I did make that decision. Our house is more comfortable and quieter than a basic system.
Our system was a $5k upcharge when we built last year. It’s speed it variable, but in set increments.
The top of the line system that is fully variable in 1% increments, with more bells and whistles, was a $15k-20k up charge. It also had a uv light for internal mold control and other bells and whistles that IMO made the system to expensive and to difficult to maintain.
Hope this helps.
