A 18,000 btu mini split I installed can perform a minimum of 5,400 BTU's.
I'm not saying install a 18k system where a 6K is needed, but installing a 18k system where you need 12K will not cause you to have high humidity.
2) 700sq feet per ton should not be used for everyone. Region and building design determine cooling and heading load. Parts of Michigan with great insulation may only need 1 ton per 1,000 sq ft. An area of Texas with bad insulation may need 1 ton per 300- 350 sq feet.
3) You must also factor in heating performance in your region and unit specifications. A 12,000 BTU cooling unit may get 16,000 BTU of heat at 47F, however it may drop to 8,000 BTU at 5F.
18K = $1,299.99
24K = $1,499.99

They are both precharged, which is good since I will do most of the install myself.

Things to consider: Is it humid where you are? If yes, oversized will leave more humidity as it runs for shorter times to cool.
How often will you use it? If it's very often, you'll beat it up faster if it's oversized (it will turn on/off a lot more than an appropriately sized unit). If it's just rare/occasional usage, it won't matter nearly as much. Still will have more wear and tear overall, just less of a concern than running 100+ hours per week.
So - if it's a dry climate and only occasional use. Go for the 24k if you want. If it's humid or you plan on leaving it on a lot, then I'd size appropriately.
After a few months of summer, what I've found is that it's really an airflow problem. I have to leave the unit fan speed on High all the time or eventually I'll experience a freeze up. I don't know if this is because I used a 24K unit and it's slightly oversized for the space or not, but just wanted to put my experience out there.
It seems like the compressor can't go low enough when airspeed falls to keep itself from freezing the coil.

I downsized from an 18k to a 12k when the 18k broke. I live in an area where the annual average daily humidity is 92% - much of the south and southeast is similar. My 550sqft FROG constantly had humidity levels 65-70% with the 18k, now with the 12k it's a much more comfortable 50-55%.
The 18k just wouldn't run enough in that space for how humid it got when it wasn't running.
