I bought the 12k for the master bedroom and was so extremely impressed with how freezing ice cold it would chill the room in a matter of minutes..
It chilled it so nicely that I could tell the whole back of the house was colder when I had it on..
So I went ahead and bought the 24k for the den... Same results.. It not only blows ice cold it cooled the entire den down in just a few minutes..
I quickly realized that just running the 12k in the bedroom and the 24k in the den completely eliminated my need to ever turn on my HVAC again..
It cools the entire house down in minutes on a very hot day.. The HVAC system would run all day to barely maintain the chill in the house on a 90 degree day..
These 2 units are miracle for me.. They run at half the power and only a fraction of the time.. I predict these things will put hvac ducted systems out of business in the near future..
I was able to install both of them myself .. Purchased romex, breaker , and cut off box from amazon , ran the wires to the panel.. I had never done it before but after a few youtube videos and my desire to save a few hundred dollars the install was flawless.. I also purchased a 3 inch hole saw for my cinder block walls..
all that being said.. I dont think you will need the dual zone units if you do what i did.. place a 12k on one end of the house and a 24k on the other you will be amazed.. - oh and this is a very good deal.. i paid 1650 for my 24k from ingrams air and water.

Setting the A/C setting at 62F (full blast), the unit pulls appx 2KW of electricity. This is by observing the meter and turning the system on and off wirelessly.
Works great in cooling our master bedroom.
Bought romex and breaker box to wire this thing, but ended up splicing off the A/C unit that this heat pump sit next to.
Honestly after seeing it, having a multi zone mini split is way better than centralize air. To be able to cool and heat only certain rooms says tons of money as you dont have to cool areas that you dont need
You don't get to pick up the phone and call a reputable HVAC contractor to come out and fix the issue under warranty.... that they probably have parts on the truck to repair the same day for the equipment they sell..
Something to consider...
I can could buy 3 spares for parts.
I've been running this unit for a year and a half. Works super. It took me 6-8 hours to install it. No pulling a vacuum, etc.
I'd buy this one again any day.

Some units like the Mitsubishi's have a removable wheel. That's really the way to go and I should have spent the extra money on the Mitsubishi in hindsight. The only problem I'm having now is a lot of condensation from the copper line so I have to get that sealed up nicely.

Where would you even buy a Mitsubishi? Most places won't sell to you without a contractor license.
Without seeing, knowing the location and list of equipment to be provided and installed, generic estimates are meaningless.... I have seen a countless number of them and nobody should get just one estimate.
That said, sure, you are going to pay more for say, an Amana, Carrier, Trane, Rheem, etc. over these Chinese units that includes the almost identical ComfortStar....that stole/copied the compressor technology from Japan. And sure, you are going to pay more for a licensed professional doing everything to code.
But, if you are happy, that is all that matters. Even a new Hyundai will probably get you from point A to point B for awhile.... and like this unit, happy to send you the parts to repair... in a week or three if that model/part is still being manufactured.
Like I said, something to consider. Maybe not for you, but is for a lot of people that have been convinced anyone can do it ----can do a professional, legal install to local code, that often includes pulling a permit for new and not just a replacement, can do their own repairs while under warranty, etc.
